I don't know about that. It's marketing and is certainly true, although obviously an uninformed buyer/bidder could interpret it to mean an original car. Seems to me that Shelby and Shelby's dealers are well within their rights to market their cars as "real shelbys" - it is in fact called a "continuation series".
I certainly don't want another thread on real vs original vs replica, etc, but this language doesn't seem out of line to me. Anyway, my $.02.

Oh come on. Yes you do. I know you do. How else will we get Evan out of hiding? He certainly didn't take the bait when the judge ruled against Shelby in the case against FFR.
As for the price increase, it's America and there's only a couple days left. |

As I said before, Shelby doesn't make any money on these cars.
Building cars for Ford and selling parts for Mustangs is where the money is.
He doesn't give a rats butt if he ever sells another Cobra. Too much time and too little profit involved.

Evan is not easily baited. Certainly not like some of the other characters around here who jump just like the dog on Thanksgiving when the turkey came out.  Although I do remember getting a pretty good reaction out of him when I threatened to dent his aluminum.  |

Ruff. Ruff. Woof. Woof.
As Mr. Becker said, 75% of 2011 production is sold, so why not a $10K increase. Heck, where else can you buy a geniune Shelby Cobra, but from one of Shelby's dealers.  |

Aren't the SPFs genuine Shelby Cobras too? I know Kirkhams and ERAs aren't. |

First, woof, woof, ruff, ruff.
You guys know where this is headed. Right?
Don't make me get my SAAC Shelby World Registry off the shelf and recite my Kirkham Cobra's listing.  |

I thought SPFs had been elevated to authentic status via their licensing deal. No?  |

I do kind of miss him.
