barrett listed cobra

[berzerko]

I started this thread because I thought the description was odd I did not think it was going to bring out hostility real or not it seems like a fair price for an aluminum bodied car and it is what the market commanded

JB has it right these cars are meant to be driven

real 1 I sense a tone that you feel all other cobras are cheap imitations to your "real 1" yet your tired of the attitude on the threads?

nevermind, nothing to add

[REAL 1]

No tone intended.

Just stating facts.

I think there are alot of great quality cars out there that aren't "Shelby's" and that are great tributes to the Cobra. I have alot of respect for many of the quality replicas like ERA, SPF, Contemporary and some others. I have also owned an ERA and an Excalibur and think they are great cars.

Then there are some that are quite candidly cheap imitations.

Fact is if its not a Shelby, original, continuation or completion it is an imitation of a Cobra. Not saying this is bad or good nor intending any "put down" but it is what it is. Certainly this is not a surprise to you. Just stating facts.

Takes care.

Right. And pigs can fly.

As a general question out to those reading this thread:

So what happens when a car Shelby sells is not actually produced by Shelby? is it still considered a Shelby? Or is it viewed as something else?

Hmmm. Interesting. You mean like the original series Cobras?

Nope, you are way off base.

[REAL 1]

As usual, I don't think so.

Evan,

It's not "all about you week at CC".


Think on a broader scale than just you or what you own.

Evan,

Please update your greeting, you are speaking like Baba Looey!

Just general information that may be unrelated or related depending on how you look at it.
I do know there were some frames and bodies sold by Shelby to individuals with the agreement that the car when complete could not be registred asa Shelby and the ID on the frames were filed off.

[G.R.]

Bye Real(fake)1---you'll be back. But you definitely didn't get Bill's question.

[Traveller]

I'll take a stab.

A "Real 1" is anything Shelby says it is, whether he had anything to do with its construction, or not.

[ng8264723]

REAL1,
You seem to very full of yourself. I'm so happy you have a SHELBY. You must be very proud. I bought a much lower quality car a Kirkham. I would rather take the extra money that I would of paid to have the CS name and let's see buy a 2003 SVT Cobra and a 2008 Duramax and go on a cruise. I wish I could be like you. I just couldn't afford it. Your sign on, "REAL1" says it all. Anyone who needs to advertise that has a insecurity problem. Good luck with your real car. Let me goto the garage and look at my fake one

If Brian Angliss built cars with chassis numbers like the original Shelby cars but with an extra character, he didn't admit it. AutoKraft, which bought and became the successor entity of AC Cars, generally built new chassis/body composites to reconstruct original Cobras, and they built the AC Mk. IVs. We know Brian has built several cars with unusual VINs, but using the VIN of an S/C that was never built in the original 60's production and then adding a 1 at the end makes no sense at all. Can anyone shed any light on this?

I have never heard of the serial number with the 1 at the end, but I do know for a fact that Brian built several cars using CSX3000 numbers. He did this basically as a slap to Carroll for the bogus frame deal, in which AC had the rights to use those numbers, not Carroll. So there actually are a few double VIN cars, each one legit. Some sold through Shelby, and some sold through AC. I have never heard the fake 3060 was an Angliss car though.

[Nedsel]

Sal, I'm aware of those cars, but I did not think Brian built a 3060.

Me either, I can find out for sure though.

Ned,

The information that I posted was paraphrased from reading the CSX 3060 entry in the new registry a day earlier.

You must know who the registrar is for the completion cars... Why not ask the registrar?
