having a license plate "Real 1" on a replica Cobra is misleading Joe Public

Another vicious beating dished out to the now debunked and disgraced Mullen Rolex analogy. I thought you were brighter than that. You have obviously been watching too much "Days of Our Lives" and have gone soft upstairs maybe.

Obviously no one or few here understands what an analogy is and the purpose in drawing analogies.

Are you aware that AC used subcontractors to form panels in the 60's also and used components from other manufacturers? Hmmm.

So now I am "intentionally" misleading people with my license plate? This is getting "richer" by the minute. My sides hurt from laughing.

Here is the deal. Last I checked my MSO and title and where my car came from was Shelby American. Last I check the World Registry of Cobras and GT40s said it was a genuine Shelby Cobra too and not classified as a "KIT". Thus my plate "REAL 427". I have never had a discussion with other motorist while actually driving on road fielding the question "Is it REAL". Further, I really don't care what motorists think, or feel or ponder when they see my plate. The plate is for me and reflects my legally and factually correct statement of what the car which I am proud of BTW. It is a simple statement of fact. No apologies forthcoming on that one. Sorry.

Since you raised this subject lets have a show of hands by chiming in as how many here that don't even own a real Shelby Cobra either original or continuation have plates that reflect "1965" or "1966" other wise say "CSX", "Cobra", "Shelby" or any other combination of letters or numbers that leads people to believe it is Shelby Cobra when in actually it is a fake in every respect and merely has a plastic "look a like" shell covering a chassis that is as far removed from a genuine Cobra chassis as the chassis of my go kart when I was a kid. Don't be shy kiddies. Fess up.

BTW did NYGuy ever buy a Cobra kit? Still searching?
