Another reason to build a "dead-on", "spot-on" replica that no-one has touched on is the now "new to the scene" opportunity to be able to potentially achieve FIA paperwork and race your Cobra. Did we forget what they were built for?
You can't do that with ANY Fiberglass Cobra. Ever Never.

Also, I was at the recent talk Carroll Shelby gave in Saratoga. He told of an old story about one of his spies at Chevy who came running into his office and mention they were going to build a "King of the Road" Corvette or something. He had his lawyers work through the night finding out if the name was registered. When he found out it was not, he did so himself. Hence the
GT- 500 KR.

If you are sweating and you see a guy with Air Conditioning, you will want to find out how he did it and do it yourself.

I am sure there are ways to offer affordable aluminum dead on Cobra's to the public through Shelby. Carroll has always been creative and has not seemed to slow down any at 82.

Who would have thought he would come to Saratoga on a snowy freezing night.?

I am not sure I would have.
