You are entitled to use whatever definition of "replica" you like or analyze it any way you like. I'll stick with the Registry definition. Thanks though.

As for the "Completion" cars being "higher" in the Shelby on the Cobra "totem pole"...yes I can see that if they were actual "completion cars" but that's an entirely different discussion is it not? Bottom line is the Continuation Cobras are on the Cobra "totem pole" PaulF's and the rest in his tribute's category aren't even on the pole. This explains the angst for those in having to admit when they really don't want to to Joe Public his LA Exotic for example or others like it etc...that it is really just a pretend Shelby Cobra. Again, bottom line they can try and garnish it any way they want buy they have a fake of what Shelby owners have.

The only thing that makes many of these guys feel better is to bring down what someone else owns and then cry foul and play the victim saying "its all about his is better then yours" when the facts are shoved in their face. Please. LOL. Comical really.
I think the key sentence in Ned's statement is:

Just like politicians, positions and opinions can evolve. There may be a movement afoot to remove the Shelby "true replicas", Kirkham and SPF GT40 replicas from the SAAC Registry. I'd certainly support it. There's just too many replicas to keep track of and the SAAC Registrars are just volunteers.

As for the 3000 series resurrection Cobras, at $500,000 per copy , they'll be the best Shelby replicas available.
