We also have the court ruling, which you never mention. Three judges, having no interest whatsoever in the matter, clearly stated that the non-60's Shelby Cobras are kit cars.

Yes, the Registry is a special interest publication. Its purpose is set forth very clearly within the Registry. The Shelby American automobile club registry is not testimony. It is a compendium of facts, information and history from experts and authorities with regard to the history, manufacture and origin of The Shelby cobra and GT 40s and a catalog of Shelby cobras and GT 40s.

If you guys feel you can do it better and have an authoritative glossary of definitions like the Registry have at it. The intimation that your conference or panel or whatever you wish to call your fantasy gathering would be unbiased is laughable in the extreme. As funny as the Iranians being able to have their own inspectors. LOL.

When you put together your catalog or whatever it is you would like to publish and when This publication or guide begins to be actually purchased and used as a reference by Shelby cobra owners then I will take time out of my day to take a look at it.

As to the "federal opinion" the reason why I do not reference it is because it is irrelevant to the issue being discussed now. Perhaps you should have your "star chamber" legal counsel explain to you the difference between "dicta" and the "holding" of a decision and opinion.

Also if you were going to cite a court opinion please provide us with a copy of the opinion and page to which you were referring.
