At least with the CSX, some form of the original company (Shelby American) is making the continuation/replicas. With the SPF, they're being produced in South Africa, by a new-ish company under the license of somebody named Safir.

While both are great replicas, especially the CSX, since they're made by Kirkham , the CSX can connect the ever-fading dots to the 1960's. Evan had that advantage at least.

Also, Real One had one of the greatest engines ever to be installed in any vehicle in his Shelby Cobra. Mike has a 302/4bbl, one of the most reliable, yet, pedestrian, engines of all time. OOH, but it's got a "Lemaze" cam for the "sound" of the 1960's paddock. Oh boy!
