And unfortunately will probably depreciate 25-40% over the next 5-10 yrs should CS gain full rights to the registry.

Durt, that was perfectly said!

As far as badges... My POS replica will be badgeless and for good reason. It will be what it is, a driveable replica of a car that I have dreamed about owning since I was probably 2 or 3 putting my hot wheels cobra and a strip of track and lettign it race down to teh wood floor. My uncle and I used to pick like 5 or 6 cars each and race them all down the track like a competition to see whos would go the farthest. My cobra with it's rubber tires always went the shortest but it was always my first car chosen because it was my favorite! Ahhh the memories! I would never, aside from the occasional joke I'm sure, lead anyone to believe that it is original or a real shelby. Sure the emblems complete the replication, but I want the car to be as much fun as possible with no turmoil. I don't want someone telling me several years down the road that I can't have badges on my cobra because some old grumpy man has too much money and wants to sue everyone for everything he can!

Hey, maybe for a $200 donation I can get a visor or a glove box door signed!

I love the car, not the man! I just hope for the owner/enthusiasts sake that SAAC is awarded to keep the registry.
