I don't need to "deceivingly" convince anyone the new Shelby's are genuine Cobras. Take a look at the SAAC registry and the facts. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. Couldn't careless whether anyone here is convinced or not. Someone says something. I respond. Thats it.
The person who placed the ad clearly referred to his car as a "Shelby Cobra". I quote "This Shelby Cobra".... Its not. Its not even in the same universe as a Shelby Cobra. Its totally different except for a shell that looks like a Shleby Cobra.
He had two places to list the car. "kit car" or Shelby Cobra. He obviously chose the latter rightfully understanding there is value to that classification. Technically and properly he should have listed his car in the "kit car" category cause it ain't no Shelby Cobra.
Point is, when its advantageous many try to associate their car as closely as possible to a Shelby Cobra. I don't blame them though.
If I'm not going to be liked or respected because I'm pointing out the facts then I don't need your respect or you to like me. The feellngs mutual.
BTW I imagine all SPF dealers are probably getting a little nervous now that you can buy a REAL Shelby Cobra for the price of a replica SPF (not double). In fact had a friend say to me the other day, who is in the market for a car that there is no reason to buy replica when he can get a fiberglass bodied Shelby for near the same price now. I guess the name does have value.
P.S. Rangers do lead the way.
