You may want to read over the press release again. The one I saw did not use the term "completion" as had been used previously, but instead used the term "competition." Unless there was a second press release, that's what the DenBeste group is calling these new cars.

And as for the few original parts that they hope to magically convince buyers there are enough of for every car, did you mean to label them "precocious" i.e. the human quality of exhibiting great ability at an early age, or simply "precious" i.e. of great value?

For what it's worth, I, too, disagree with the premise of calling these CSX 3000-series Cobras. They simply aren't.

Great to see you jumping in! I would LOVE to go over the build in detail with you to see what we did right and what we did wrong. (Ned knows more about these cars than just about anyone else).

David,
Is it safe to assume without your company's involvement, Shelby would not have any Cobras to sell, present and future?
What exactly does Shelby manufacture these days?

Maybe just start with one of Vernon's (TheTurd) master parts list for the original 427 and check off all the parts included? I have one of these books and it's almost 1/2" thick. Every nut and bolt...

Shelby also sources cars from South Africa (fiberglass) and England (csx1000) in addition to cars sourced from Kirkham.
