Real1 - Your point of distinction between genuine and original has been made... BUT if you believe in your mind that responding - "it's a genuine shelby cobra" (as opposed to original shelby cobra) doesn't purposefully give the poor sod asking the question the wrong impression, you Sir are sadly mistaken.
It's that simple... Irrespective of what is written where!
So, guess what...
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck...
I'm calling it a "duck"
You on the other hand, can maintain your belief, that because some humble book (that if I understand it correctly, requires payment to list and register your CSX4 series cobra), says so, it must be true!
The SAAC registry I value for its collation of historic documentation of the cars from the 60s and nothing more!
Trying to validate your argument (or perhaps it's your purchase) by piggybacking on that reflects more on you and your sad, perverse and desperate nature to satisfy your ego, that yours is better than someone else's.
Sorry mate, but FWIW: Ive the means to purchase a CSX4 series, just not the interest
I'm glad you however did have the interest. It re-affirms my thoughts and reasons why I pass on the opportunity.
If I had your car and was asked the question, "is that real?" Or a variant of, my answer would be equally as simple. "No, It's a modern reproduction" or "it's a continuation series" or frankly "No, it's plastic". That way NO-ONE is in any doubt.
Just saying, best you just run along and enjoy your car.
You've surly exhausted your Mass-debating skills.
Yeah! I said it
Enjoy,
