I believe the last 427 Cobra is owned by a gentleman in CT and serviced by Cobra Automotive. It was in the shop with mine last July, or so they told me.

More than it should, but that is more about the owner/driver than about Cobra Automotive

Plain and simple
1-3360 "real"
3360+
Replica, copy, kit, continuation
semantics, nothing more

D-Cel: Pick up a SAAC Registry. Actually those terms are all defined. You'll find opinions can vary from facts. . But of course the majority here don't like facts to get in the way of their opinions. 
Anyway, no one answered my question. When was the last 427 Sold from dealer lots, Which one was it??? ...or do you guys want to keep beating a dead horse???? You guys really gotta try and break that habit. LOL

Yes, indeed.
The current edition of SAAC's World Registry of Cobras and GT40s indicates:
Quote:
|
"The CSX4000 cars are true replicas...Shelby chose the term "Component Cobra" to separate his cars from the rest (of the replicas)."
|
Quote:
|
"Shelby American press releases...were careful not to refer to the car as a "replica"... However, it is not an exact duplicate, it was actually a new model Cobra - improved, updated and, to be accurate, recreated."

Personally, I hate it when you get burned with your own citations.  But it's nice to see that the debate has now moved on to "true replicas" versus "fake replicas."
