That's why I did not buy my car as an investment, an aluminum Shelby will be worth more because it cost more in the beginning...replica I mean over a Kirkham and down the line...
You clearly must seem to know that every guy that buys a Shelby buys it as an investment and for no other reason. That is an amazing feat. You should be heavily into stocks with that talent but you already know that. With your winnings you should be able to by a real Cobra.

Your feigned faux pas intended as a put down is factually accurate when applying Websters definition. It's all in the current Registry.

You should also apply your amazing deductive powers to the question of why Shelbys cost more than Kirkhams. Once you find the answer please report back and enlighten us.

That makes absolute no since but when do you, they will cost more in the end because they cost more in the beginning, and why do you tell us in your title that you have an ORIGINAL side oiler in your car but don't state that your SHELBY is original, is it not, according to you it is...

You need to proof read your posts a little more before you hit that little "post" button.

To try and answer your garbled response all I can say is ...Uh, no. My Sideoiler is an original cast iron 1965 block. That's why it is an original Side oiler. Yup. Pretty easy right.

As to my Shelby, you are correct...it is not an original. Are you saying I do say it's an original or I don't say it's an original??? Can't tell from your cryptic response what you are saying. Let me respond nevertheless. Very simply I don't say it is an original Shelby and clearly never have because it clearly is not. It is clearly denoted as a 4000 series Cobra in my info as to the car. I'm sorry if you are confused or feel misled. However, you appear to be alone in that confusion or feeling as no one else seems to be confused or misled.

Also, just to follow up.... have you figured out why Shelbys sell for more? Let us know when you figure out the answer. We'll be here.

You always state your cobra as an ORIGINAL, that's why I think your nuts, it's a REPLICA...even if it has the cxs number, is it original or not...

Since I "always" state my Cobra is an original cite me one example where I said that. Should be easy since I "always" say it.

Based on your communication and comprehension ability in English I would say English is a distant (very distant) second language for you.

Now you have two homework assignments.

1. Show me where I said my Shelby was an original. Should take no time since as you said I always say it.
2. Still waiting for you to explain why Shelbys cost more.

That's easy, Shelby's cost more because there are people willing to buy all Shelby can produce. Simple supply and demand.

Doesn't mean that they will be worth more than any other replica when the bubble bursts or the mystique fades. They're still a replica. No more, no less.

Give me about 2 months of research, you have spewed so much bull on here I have to go through it all, you know how you lawyers do it.. And about my English, if you have to attack me personally that's fine, God knows everyone does it to you...

I might be wrong on this but I believe a Kirkham roller sells for more than a glasss csx, by 10K, so a Shelby does not cost more, that answers question number 2...

I'm with Evan on this one. Show us where he claimed his car was an original. Not where he said it is an authentic Shelby, but where he said it is an original.

To my knowledge he has never claimed his Cobra is an ORIGINAL. He has however, "claimed" that it is a GENUINE Shelby Cobra, which it clearly is.

It isn't difficult to understand....or maybe it is?

Default Don't bother looking - you won't find it

What gets people's goat is Evan's relentless trumpeting to all who care to listen, and all who don't (I think its even on his license plate) that his repli - er - car is a REAL Cobra, knowing full well that almost everyone takes "real Cobra" to mean "original '60's vintage".
No - in fairness - he never insists that its an original, but he sure goes out of his way in every conversation to make the unsuspecting public think it is and to make those in the know think its better than all others because its made by Shelby.

Buddy - that may be true for those who (understandably) feel its worth paying the extra premium to be able to say that their car is (technically) a REal Cobra. To most others its just another - very good - replica to be judged alongside all of the others according to quality and value for their dollar.

Correcto! Well for the most part. What "everyone" takes as real or not real is up to them nor do I profess to read their minds but apparently this board is full of mind readers.

Observation. The "Most others" don't own Shelbys.

Yup, I do think it's better because its a Shelby. That's why I bought it.

English is my second language so proof read it for me, your obviously getting the point...and I don't use spell check, just as Lawyers don't honestly describe their Replicas...

PS: Stayed at the Somerset Hills Hotel this past weekend, wish I had gotten one of their newly renovated rooms, sadly, we did not. Maybe next time.
