Probably not the right place to ask question but what the heck.
I used to have oil misting behind the cap also. Installed a Peterson remote breather can and have two large hoses from the tank to the breather can. That provides a low resistance path to the atmosphere instead of forcing flow out the cap.

And the fact, not opinion, that the original Shelby organization exists essentially in name only since the majority of the Shelby company was purchased by another company and then taken public makes the connection to the original Shelby American tenuous at best. That's my opinion.

Evan's selling of his Cobra is a classic case of showing his wife that it's really for sale. He can point to the ad and say "see, it's for sale." He couldn't sell the car for $229,000, so he raised the price to $249,000. And it still won't sell at that price. If he wants to sell his car, then the asking price should be around $50,000-75,000 less.

Otherwise he's just chasing rainbows.

You sound pretty sure about that RodKnock!
I guess we will all wait and see what happens when someone lets us know.
Predictions are like chasing the wind...results are all that matters!

Yes, I'm absolutely 100% positive that my prediction of the selling price should be $175,000-200,000. Unless it's not. And no one will ever know except Evan and his buyer unless somehow Wiki Leaks posts the bank wire transfer.

Why would the Registry want to know? The Registry is published every decade and prices aren't tracked or published.

And unless I see a bank wire transfer and/or legally executed sales agreement, I won't believe a word of it. It's the Internet for heaven's sake. The home of BS.

Ron,
Maybe, the rules are always changing. Certainly not retroactive to existing SB-100/SPCNS vehicles if it has changed. That info came from a downloadable PDF file from the CA DMV website about 3 years ago.
