The original Shelby cars created/changed motor racing history.
A Rolex just tells time. Apples to cranberries. |
Do I have to teach you guys what an analogy is? Sheesh :LOL:
|
JoesGarage: you never told us what Shelby related vehicle you own..?
Waiting. |
Analogy; a comparison of two things based on their being alike in some way.
Stretching it somewhat! |
Rolex does their manufacturing in house, from movements to crystals.
SAI farms their cars out of house, bumper to bumper. having a license plate "Real 1" on a replica Cobra is misleading Joe Public |

Whether we use Rolex watches, Indian motorcycles, Kirkham Cobras, etc. to compare with the Shelby Cobra, the answer is still the same. The Shelby Cobras built after 1967-1968 are all just replicas of the originals. The dashboard materials are different, the aluminum is different, wiring, brakes, suspension, differentials, glass, hardware, all different, etc. They just happen to be built by a successor company with the same or similar name. Shelby. Shelby had a marketing meeting and decided to use the term "Continuation" instead of "true replicas." I think the really important question here, which you brought to the forefront is whether I would buy a 2nd Kirkham, if Kirkham ceased production for 30 years, and then began building replicas of replicas. %/ |
My issue with this is that it usually comes from a guy with a, let's say, a tri-five chevy. New after-market frame, suspension, motor, brakes, suspension, interior, power windows, etc. Isn't your car a "kit car" too??!!!

I say I made it..........................
Replica made by me...... Scratch Then I say in the process a kit would have been a blessing. LOL |
Jeff,
A kit may have been a blessing but you can't argue with those results! Me? If I had my druthers, I'd take an Exact Carbon (as a kit) and when I need help, I'd ask my pals at McCluskey. Hmmmm...;) |

If they have any question about lineage and authenticity, just show them your Rolex Submariner. That'll show them. :LOL: :rolleyes: :p **) |

Seriously, Rodney, what the heck do you need with another Cobra? |

Still wondering why the whole hub-up has gone silent about the "original" 3000 series cars. Not trying to stray or jack this thread. We already have one for the subject, but things sure seem to have gone quiet. Just sayin'....;) |

I'm sure the Nissan Leaf Owners Association COB (Chairperson of the Board) will post a link to the auction, one of these days, and then we can argue about the fact that it has some unobtainium OEM starter switch, and THAT makes it a genuine Shelby Cobra circa 2015. :LOL: |
