I also tend to just read these Real/not Real threads and not post because it seems no matter what side you are on,you are fighting a losing battle. Kind of like politics.

To me this is pretty simple....

" Is it REAL?" ...I like to handle it by having the person come and touch my car and when I ask them if they feel it there under their fingers and they say yes I then reply " YES it is real" then comes a pause followed by "but it is not a shelby"

Evans car is a Shelby Cobra. Period.

If I had a Cobra with a JBL chassis, a kirkham body,and an all aluminum 427 motor would I have a better CAR than Evan?...YUP!!
(in my opinion)

Would it be worth more on the market?.... Nope!!

About 10 years ago I broke my neck and had to have some major surgery to repair it. When all was said and done I think the Doctor,hospital,rehab and what not bills all totaled somewhere around $100,000. Now is my spinal chord worth more than Evans
car?..... I like to think so but apparently not. Sometimes I think our priorities have gotten way out of whack.

The only REAL question is.....Are you Happy????
If the answer is yes then your car is worth just as much as Evans
so go take a ride and enjoy it!

everyone have a good one,
Dan
