Yeah. Enjoyed the afternoon. Went for a cruise and stopped at Panera. Will post pics.
We have compared cars in the past. Shelby suspension and brakes are totally different.
Same aluminum body and chassis. Kinda like same body and chassis as the AC body and chassis just newer. Hmmm. Funny how that also works out to be true. Shelby did rebadging in the 60s just like now. Hey. Whatdaya know!!!.
He also agrees with the Registry too. See his car as a Kirkham Cobra and not a mere replica. . Doesn't really waste his time on CC as he too see this place as very biased against the current generation Cobras.
Oh, by the way, within 10 minutes of parking we had at least 5-7 people coming over and talking to us about the cars. Every one of them loved them and were awed by the bare aluminum Kirkham and the continuation Shelby. Their surprised reactions visibly noticeable when they learned it was a Shelby Cobra and didn't seem at all phased by the fact it wasn't original. In fact, when they learned it was a Shelby the Iphone pics and videos started as usual. Consistently predictable when they learn its a Shelby Cobra. Talked with them for a good 10 -15 minutes about Cobras, Cobra history, Carroll, current production Shelbys and original Shelbys.
Never had those reactions with my Excalibur or ERA. I don't know. Its just something about a Shelby and aluminum Cobras. Go figure.
Hey, enjoy your evening.
