Hit a nerve???? Don't flatter yourself. You are asute though in observing my Cobra is not an original series Cobra. My passion is satisfied just fine and fully with my Continuation Shelby. Thanks though.

Yes, I know what your plate is. The plate is intentionally misleading in one respect and just flate false in the other. First, your car doesn't have a real 427. Its a stroked short block. When people ask is that a 427 you know they are asking....that' rights..., they really want to know if it's an original real FE427SO not some run of the mill stoked 351. Second the clear reference to 'snake' in the plate clearly says your car is a Cobra which is false in every respect.

There are many others here with misleading plates and they know who they are some of whom hypocritically saying what they are saying in this thread. This is just too "rich". Classic Club Cobra. My sides hurt from laughing. Seriously.

Seems like you are the one that longs for a Shelby Cobra rather then a copy of one. Your only cure is to pony up. Your plate says it all.

Oh, BTW your response telling people it's a replica is "technically misleading" too. See Websters. Also the Registry. You should simply say its a fake Cobra. Technically accurate and true, however, since by asking if its a "replica" you take it as really asking if its a fake I guess your good.

Nice try, Evan, but I'm not going to bite.

You're too much fun to mess with. And much too easy to provoke.

Ditto, every forum has a "class clown", I guess we know who ours is.

Evan - ",,, See your opinion/position means nothing and carries 0 weight with anyone but you and those who don't own Shleby Cobras who feel better about what they own by bringing down what someone else owns ,,,"

Not an opinion/position but court ruling. You're still getting it wrong, repeat after me -
I own a Shelby "Continuation" Replica Kit Car of the Shelby Cobra.

Now that wasn't so hard was it

Wow! That's quite a mouth full. Seems like you covered all your bases.

So it finally comes out as to what you guys want Shelby owners to say for you guys to feel better about what you have. Sad.

That just to "wordy" and interferes with my efforts to "mislead" people so I'll just stick with what I've been using.

btw you are still way lost on the court decision you keep using. Your statement as to the "opinion and ruling" is very simply wrong. Still stumbling around in the dark on this one. However, the correct answer is right in there in one of the paragraphs. Just gave you a hint. Come on let's see if you can figure it out. I'm betting you won't.

Yours truly,

Clowny.

On that we can ALL agree and the point being made here ad nauseam. So give your fellow replica kit car owners a big thumbs up for their honesty and then carry on living the lie.
