Shelby American Incorporated Replica
1 Attachment(s)
I just bought a Shelby American Incorporated Replica. It was purchaed by the first owner in the late 90's. Can anyone enlighten me about the car or the manufacturer?? Any knowledge/expertise would be appreciated.
|
How can anyone make a substantial purchase of anything and not know what it is or anything about it?? :confused::confused::confused:
Start by giving us a CSX number.:rolleyes: |

Just because someone put a serial number plate on it that says Shelby American, does not mean that it was actually built by Shelby. Those knockoff spinners look fake to me. What is the serial number?

But the pic is so friggin' small that all I can see is the shade of magnesium on the centers. Or maybe I'm just SO waiting on some mags of my own that any wheel looks like magnesium right now. :LOL: |
I don't know much but if they keep pushing on the corner of the windshield like that they will need a new one.

No not mag Hali's. Probably Centerlines with inserts.
Roll bar looks too short for a CSX. Cheesy black side mirror doesn't help. A Benz and a Roller in the background is interesting... |
Rear fenders too narrow/tall/vertical, or whatever, for CSX.

Right now, I believe you may have a Contemporary Cobra as I believe I might have pictures of this very car from the mid 2000's somewhere in my collection. Bill S. |
...ringing a bell here as well...gotta go look in the archives

Looks exactly like one them continuation cars to me... or whatever they call them new-fangled CSX cars that Evan says ain't real. Yep, spot on to my eyes.:cool: I say we be nice to the new guy, too.

I guess to respond to why I bought it ... I have been buying and sellling cars for more then 20 years, many exotics, Ferraris, Porsches and the like. I just recently purchased the Cobra and had the opportunity to sell it the next day for a $19,000 profit, but have decided I like it would like to keep it for awhile. After researching Cobras a bit, I have become somewhat familiar with them, and it was my thinking that a forum such as this might be an avenue to learn more about the car from people whose expertise exceeded my own.

Your experience with exotics doesn't translate to the most replicated car in history. And flipping a car you know nothing about can be VERY costly.
Were you going to flip it as a Shelby or a replica?? |

The VIN is the real pud-puller. No Shelby American DNA there. So, how does one sell a replica Cobra if its manufacturer is fully unknown?
