Why doesn't Shelby American???

I see both sides of this and can't say that I lean towards one side over the other.
CS and the Cobra are both legends. I've been a hude fan of his since I can remember, and have paid to have him sign items in the past. Worth every cent, if you ask me. None of us would be here (on CC) today if it weren't for him.
On the other hand, most of us here wouldn't be able to enjoy driving a "Cobra" if it weren't for the replica industry. I own a Superformance (who he sued) and I'm sure he wouldn't be as willing to sign my dash today as he would have been a few years back. Although, I have to wonder how much of this was CS's idea (the law suits) and how much of it was his attorney's / co-workers doings. I think they all saw $$$ signs and wanted a piece of the action that the replica industry was getting. Building the SA 40K rollers is how he should have competed in the first place..........not trying to sue the replica industry out of the Cobra business.
Of course, the SA rollers are another story...............
Sure would like to see one. I hear they are supposed to be nice cars...... but if you give someone a delivery date (especially after asking for a good chunk of change up front before ever showing them a car!), you had better keep your promise.
Good luck to those of you with one on order. Hopefully it will be worth the wait!
