Default Shelby American is alive and kicking..

In light of recent spirited discussions, it is worth reporting that SAI is very much alive and kicking.
I just got back from the dinner at SAAC-28, and Carroll Shelby (among many others) gave a little after-dinner talk.

Most significant: He proudly announced..
"...after all these years, I am now back with Ford Motor Company"

He is working with the new Mustang and there is talk, but nothing firm, about a new Shelby version. (nothing to do with the GT500E-style of "new" shelby, this would be a deal with Ford)

He also said that "...there will be a new Cobra.

Carroll said there will be some significant announcements over the next three months that will let them compete in the replica market "at every price level." And that they will be building cars off-shore.

...just passin' it on.
