Not an original body or chassis. By the way are the bodies the same thickness as the original? Moreover, we would need to see a COMPLETE build sheet to be assured of such a 'LOFTY" claim and (4) they would all have to be build to Competition specs to be "historically" accurate as far as the remaining 100.

However, I am glad to see you are making progress with your "denial" syndrome. Don't let it drive you nuts. Just relax and breath deeply. You'll be fine and feel better!

What progress? You can call them whatever you want and SAAC can refer to them anyway they want, but in the end, every single Cobra made after roughly 1967-1968 is a REPLICA. Some REPLICAS are more accurate than others, but the bottom line is that Shelby isn't the same company, not the same employees, not the same materials and they're being copied 40-50 years after the originals.

Everything is about marketing and money and the limited special editions will continue to be sold to the gullible.
