3. The "Rest of Us". Who could give a rats ass who built your car or when it was made. We appreciate them all. But we REALLY appreciate an original.
See this is another shining example. That's your breakdown not mine. By your logic my 2012 Boss 302 LS is not a real Boss 302 since it wasn't made in the 60's. Oh, and my 2005 Ford GT is not a real Ford GT since it wasn't made in the 60's (please note the GT40 was always officially known as the Ford GT not its popularly known reference as the GT40).

Anyway, here's my breakdown.

1. The "Haves". Owners of original Shelby Cobras and Continuation Shelby Cobras.

2. Those that own copies of Shelby Cobras.

3. ...actually I don't have a #3.

Cheers,
