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

But since the Series 1 went out of production years ago if SAI brought back the same car in a second run they would be "replicas" of the first run since they would not be "originals" and thus not genuine Shelby Series 1. Yep.

It's a genuine Series 1. Correct. If Shelby brought it back to the market, would it be legal and register-able in 2015 off the dealer lot? If so, it would look alot different than it does in the pic, because of Federal regulations. Otherwise it's a replica and a kit, if they're duplicating the Series 1 as best as possible, but with different parts.

Evan same old BS from you. Just a different hour and day.

I met Phil Henny last Friday. He came to my shop. I met him at the front door -

Hi I'm Cliff - Hello I am Phil

Phil I have a replica kit - a slight shrug - you have a Cobra - let's see it.

Had lunch and spent a couple of hours talking. Seemed like 10 minutes. - He gave me a copy of "Bob Bondurant" and signed it.

Can't wait to see him again.
