Are Shelby’s cars
really the same as 55 yrears ago? Weren’t they supplied without engines for a start?
On the other hand, Jaguar, with the D-Type, and Aston Martin with the DB4GT Zagato, did actually produce cars that are as close to the originals (true “nut-and-bolt” replicas) as is possible. Because of the accuracy of the reproductions, they of course cost megabucks to produce and even more megabucks for a select few new owners.
Does that sound like Shelby Cobra Continuation cars?
Another point of difference, because they are accurate replicas of 1950’s and 1960’s cars, they (I believe) are not road-registerable.
