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. :D

Ralphy: I took aim at Evan because, well let's face i,t he can present as a bully... BUT truth is depending on perspective, either side of this coin is correct. :o

PaulF pretty much summed it up best when he said this:

Even those that don't have a 1960s Cobra but have a Shelby have a chip on their shoulder because they go through such great lengths to argue that theirs is a continuation Cobra and the registry says so.

Guess what? NO ONE ASKING THE QUESTION CARES. Continuation, replica, kit, custom, no one cares. It's not an original. They walk away disappointed and you feel bad because you couldn't say yes.

Question: Is it original?
Answer: No.
BUT the issue I have is, why the insecurity on either side of this fence?
It is what it is... Nothing more, nothing less.

Hence forth and enjoy :)

Just saying - REPLICA (or variant of...) is NOT a dirty word. ;)



Ps: The buzzer went fellas... So I'm going to go play with my real/counterfeit/dune buggy cobra :)

Ralphy

I might have to send a resignation letter to SAG. You kicked my arse with that Groundhog reference. lol I still like my Rambo one though.

Yes! Be sure to delineate that the CSX's are the originals from which all your fine replicas were forged, awesome idea!!

Yep, the fiberglass one in my case. How....original. :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

That will DEFINITELY be noted.

AL427SBF 04-18-2014 06:01 PM
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.

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 …

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 :LOL:

[quote=REAL 1;1296217]Actually, my mom told me I'm a great guy. :LOL: However, I appear to be widely misunderstood here.

Seriously, I have no problem with anyone personally. I only have problems with personal attacks. People are entitled to their personal views if that's what it is.

Okay you are a nice guy if your mother says you are but take a moment and read some of your first posts,they drew me in. You seem to have a good control of the English language try exercising that ability when talking about kit cars. I commend you on this last post at least felt you put some effort into giving the industry some credit. Don't forget without the kit car industry Mr. Shelby may never have started building his own versions of these wonderful cars.

I'm certain that most everyone that participates on this forum loves these cars as much as you. Except for the SAAC registry my library is full of most all books published about these cars as well as a few magazines. While researching and building our car my life revolved around it. Without the SAAC recognition does not make the kit car owners any less dedicated.

Just as saac did with the reproduction continuation cars, sarc would make up its own rules as well. :D

Do you have a stance on the fiberglass Shelby's? Or do you go along with the saac on that one too?

Quote:
So, to our way of thinking, the current crop of Cobras are genuine but are not original.
....which would make it a genuine reproduction of the original. The question is why is SAAC so afraid to use the "R" word?

Hi guys...

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

Have a great weekend.
