Why does every thread here devolve into a "Real" vs. "Replica" argument?

Yes Thor, whatever you say. Are you sure your percentages are correct.

AC Cars Ltd -Shelby American - FORD made the Cobra. Forty +/- years later a derivative of one of the company's builds a replica of the Cobra from the 1960's. YUP that is a 1/3 genuine knockoff , do the math. Hey maybe you are doing that new "Common Core" math thing????

Dearest: PaulF: my sincerest apologies with regard to my misdirected plate moniker comment. I confused you with the multitudes of others with such plates. They kow who they are.

As to the rest, what can I say except carry on. Alas they are beyond help either due to inability to comprehend the point that even the newbie understands or as a result of furthering their own purpose. They still scurry to undercut the facts, the law (by miss citing trade dress decisions) and logical rational explanation as to the undeniable ultimate fact. The World Registry concurs also agreeing with the facts and law as it must necessarily do. One cannot read selected snippets of the Registry taken out of context as misleadingly done by others here. All those innocents reading are urged to read the cited pages I set forth for themselves so as not to be misdirected in their understanding.

The only one that has finally acknowledged the simple truth and fact has been PaulF. Thank you sir. You have acknowledged and recognized the simple and obvious fact that has and will apparently forever escape the others. They are beyond help as noted. But if I have helped just one my efforts were worthwhile here.

Time for me to avoid squandering precious and billable time on those that can't be helped.

Adieu my lost friends. See you on other threads.

I'll check back in a few days to see if you guys have progressed any further.

My, my. You gotta love someone who decides to say goodbye to a thread only to comeback a day or two later. There's a man of his word. Must be a slow day at the office.

As the Registry states, your CSX is very Cobra-like. And as you stated many times, your car is a "true replica."

Did you decide to change your mind now? Are you "walking it back", like the "wheat and chaff" insult to the non-CSX replica owners?

Your CSX was put together just like almost all of us here, in the form of a kit. Buy a chassis & body, using nothing remotely like the materials used in the 1960's, and then add an engine and transmission by a local shop (HRE in yoiur case). Then go pass an state inspection and register it. We've all done the same process.

The only difference is you got a badge from a successor company to the original Shelby American, three or four decades later. Sure, Evan, whatever makes you feel warm and fuzzy at night.

As a Kirkham owner, I'll take solace in the fact that the $60,000 alloy roller Shelby replica-premium nearly disappears entirely when the cars are sold as a completed used vehicle.
