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

I guess one of the "dumb jurors" that was referred to in earlier threads .

Which ones, most all of them. Take a subjective look at all the oppossing threads. He is not stating anything false nor overstating his position based on the content of the Registry. He is simply stating the Continuation Series are not part of the original 3000 Series but the original manufacturer continuing production of a Shelby Cobra.

Well, yes he is. Right off the bat, the original company ceased to exist when Venture purchased a 75% stake in the new venture and then subsequently IPO'ed the new company. So, the original company no longer makes the Shelby CSX replicas. That's just one falsehood. That's being objective.

And a car built using different materials by a different company in a different era and delivered to the consumer in a considerably different fashion is a REPLICA.

The primary manufacturer was AC Cars Ltd which provided 70% of a completed car to Shelby. All Shelby did was put in a motor and transmission, already designed by AC for a quick drop-in installation. If you want to pin the tail on the donkey then AC Cars is the "original manufacturer", not Shelby.

Significant supplier but not the manufacturer. Shelby completed the car and issued the MSO so not the original manufacturer. Doesn't matter if they only put one screw on the car.

Great example of putting a slant on the reality of the topic, however no basis to the point at hand.
