Replica or a modern reproduction?

Yes, Evan's composure has remained in tact, Ralphy's kind of took a left turn to the sewer, that never bodes well with the jury ... unless it's a jury of Ralphy's peers, then I would sit in the back of the court house and wait for the food fight to start from the jury box

Obviously you missed his first post?

Let's look back at his history from other topics

"The fact that no other fiberglass cars fetch those numbers is because they are not Cobras at all, just cars that look like Cobras which is only skin deep. Beyond that many are as far from a Cobra as a dune buggy without any Shelby pedigree."


"Shelbys will soon come into their own. They are starting to already. They are already recognized at many auctions as REAL Cobras in the continuation series."

"When people ask me if my Cobra is original I tell them "yes sir, absolutely, its a Continuation series Shelby Cobra, CSX 4206". True and factual."

Here's a thread that was shut down after Evan showed up.

What's the History for the Last Shelby American Cobra made?

Oh my another thread shut down by Evan

CSX 6000 at Barrett-Jackson

Here's a little tidbit from a moderator

Well, Mr. Moderator?
It's in the script.

Moderator to Real1: "This is how all your threads end."

That was the last post, shut down!



Damn and I didn't go very far in Evans history yet!

Ralphy: I sorry you feel so offended. You shouldn't let it get to you. Its only a car. If you feel I "personally" offended it was not my intent. "Tongue in cheek" remember?

I will not bicker with you over who said what and when. It's all there to read or re-read should anyone have the desire, the interest or the inclination. I surely don't.

What I have said mirrors the Registry. Sorry that upsets you but I can't change history past or as it has evolved or the facts. No one can. I can't change the working definitions SAAC established either. You should file your protest with them.

Also understand this site is no one's house. It is not your "house". It is not my "house". It doesn't belong to you. It doesn't belong to me or anyone else here except Brent who owns the site but it is a public forum with certain rules of decorum. Sometimes arguments get heated but when posts devolve in to pure personal attacks (as in some of the latest examples above and I'm not say'n from who ) and spew insults at others being completely devoid of any content related to the OP then two things happen. That person makes oneself look foolish and childish/immature and the moderators step in and shut the thread down.

The fact that you are not familiar with my presence here exposes your well...putting it nicely...lack of "experience" here. Some quick background. I have been on this site since around 2000. I was here first under a different user name in the beginning years but left for a short "sabbatical" due to ...well shall we say...some people launching very personal attacks (I think even violence was threatened at one point) at me over this very issue, which as you can imagine in 2000 and 2001 was even more volatile than today in view of the FFR/Shelby litigation. I don't recall you being around back then but maybe I missed it? Anyway...I left for a short while till the dust settled and things calmed down and returned. So, I don't know what my actual post count is but likely double than what's stated above.

If you will note one of our esteemed moderators posted a "sticky" thread entitled "Respect, respect, respect". That sticky was put up long, long ago. That is a good guide.

We are fortunate to have some of the people here that we do here such as Nedsel, Trevor Legate, Mick Mate, the owners of some original cars and some other very knowledgeable contributors as to both the history of these cars and the technical side. When posters start with personal attacks and aspersions it brings the entire site down and makes it look bad. Not good.

The other "sarcastic" thread you reference is a not an unusual reaction by many here to what I have said for years now and the SAAC definitions. No biggy. I just ignore it. Kinda silly. Yes, it is a sarcastic thread, clearly. I was initially going to post a complimentary comment as to the OP's car except I then notice he expressly limited the thread to those owning "imposters" so I realized I wasn't invited to contribute so I didn't. . Yes, a little sarcastic ..I know but hey, it's a two way street.

You need to step back. Take a deep breath and remember, its only a car.

AL427SBF & AL G: Thanks. Appreciate it.

Cheers.

[Ralphy]

You should of headed those points in your first several posts when you attacked me. You will need to excuse me, I'm out working on my Dune Buggy.

One more thing, don't tell me what to do. I'm not your boy! Stop trying to act like some superior. Thanks for the last post. It's worse than I suspected if you were threatened and had to leave the board. WOW!

That last post is a keeper.

Someone needs to change the registry so that it firmly reflects that the continuation cars are modern day genuine licensed REPRODUCTION cars.

People get mad when others sell a car as a real Shelby cobra when it's a continuation CSX. Well, change the SAAC registry and we can move on quickly with these fraudulent sellers that are just as much a fraud as their car.

istock: I suggest you join SAAC and write them a strongly worded letter.

Ralphy: I'm repetitive because the facts never change.

Asnake: Nah. It's not that bad. Plus... its all established in the Registry definitions.

I'll be starting my own "club" called the SARC, or Shelby American Reproduction Club. Or Shelby American Replica Club.

Either way, the continuation CSX will be included.

[Ralphy]

A suggestion Evan, cut out the repetitive SAAC blah blah blah. Going thru your history you've used that line over and over. It's like efen Ground Hog Day and I'm Bill Murry.

Hi guys...

I am sick of checking this thread for bad behavior. Plus the content is a retread.

Have a great weekend.

Hallelujah and Praise the Lord!
We have consensus, the SARC Registry to define, catalog and maintain history of all replicas back to the original CSX cars.

We're done here, nothing left to see people, move along now, move along.

[CCRsAC]

The SARC sounds like a great idea - a replica of a Shelby club... now that's some irony, right there. Careful, though, y'all may just get sued by SAI and SAAC.

That's not what SARC would be according to it's originator itstock, and do you really want go there? Probably best to hang on your “My fake is faker than your fake!” thread …
My fake is faker than your fake!

Don't want to see you get traumatized like Thor maine with his Post #36 there. Seems REAL 1 has put a royal mojo on his head
