Yes CSX cars will be genuine Shelby cars, because after all they are made by Shelby

Call 'em 2010 Shelby Cobras if you have to. The reality is the laws and regulations have changed and that is the only thing keeping turnkey Shelby Cobras from rolling off an assembly line.

For the record I consider a round tube frame far more important in the authenticity department then a slanted radiator. But I consider a value priced car with a better layout from a driving perspective even more important than that. So my posts are as weightless as yours or the knight who always says ni

Alright, we'll take it to its logical end.... Shelby dies, and the stock of the Shelby Corporation is sold to a group of French investors. The production of CSX cars continue, but they "ease" back some of the authentic points. They even begin using a rectangular frame. Still a "real, genuine, Shelby Cobra?"

You are asking about the future, which either you nor I can accurately predict. We can however let the man sell his genuine cars today, because by any real stretch of the stick that is what they are and distinct from all others for that fact alone.

When he goes we will see what happens. Let's hope the brand goes on as an American enterprise that pays homage to the heritage of the name. If it goes another way then so be it.

If the cars are selling, or outselling others then it speaks volumes.
