I have strong suspicions that the next Ruh-Ruh-Registry will only have the original 1962-1970 Shelby Mustangs & Cobras, GT40's, etc. The replicas made post-1970 will be dropped, deleted, kaput.

For two main reasons.

1. The SAAC Registrars are simply volunteers and they just don't have the time to deal with added volume of cars produced every single day by Shelby, Kirkham and Superformance. Also, they're getting older as a group and will need to pass along the duties to the younger generation, you know, the ones who have grown up watching and playing video games and have the attention spans of goldfish, seriously.

"The results showed the average human attention span has fallen from 12 seconds in 2000, or around the time the mobile revolution began, to eight seconds. Goldfish, meanwhile, are believed to have an attention span of nine seconds. (Mar 12, 2016.)"

2. They're clones, tributes, replicas, copies, reproductions of the cars made in the 1960's. Let the companies who made them, document them, or their enthusiasts, if they so desire. The links to the companies that made them back in the 1960's are at best distant, and in Kirkham's and SPF's case(s), non-existent. And the parts that have been installed in/on them are modern day interpretations, from close reproductions to technologically-advanced/enhanced versions of the 1960's parts.

So you go Al!
