What's the History for the Last Shelby American Cobra made?

[SFcobra65]

Wow.. I am amazed that what seemed to ME as a very simple question has turned into all this,i was just curious as to the very last Shelby American made Cobra.....I am almost sorry for asking the question.When it comes down to it , i can say, that if the car wasnt made in the 60's then it's not an Original cobra.
So , if thats the case , Who should really care if it's a Factory built one or a backyard build , as long as the owner enjoys it , thats all that should matter.Replicas , Kits , who really should care?
I again can say , i am very sorry to have tried to ask a (To ME) simple question , just to have it turn into a P***ing match with some of you.When you all and i are dead , Original , Replica , Kit , will not matter one bit , so just freaking enjoy what you have....

SFcobra65,
Oh, you think that kind of logic applies as a reference to a question?

You didn't consider something just might be up with the first few responses to your thread starting question? Answers offered by Mr. Mustang or the author Trevor Legate or RoushAC and all the others? Or the next two pages of responses?
(Actually your question was answered quite thoroughly early on)

You wrote those magic $hit disturbing words..."Original Cobra", assuming everyone has the same view point as yourself as to the definition of what comprises an "original".

The simple phrasing of your thread title lit the proverbial hornets nest - dead horse kicking debate that has continued in this forum for years now, and always attracts a crowd.

You said "Original Cobra"

The moderators have had to snuff out some fairly nasty fires over the years, and then up pops those words again on the thread starter page....
All of the observations you make above have been hashed out before...many times.

Don't be almost sorry for asking a question, just don't get too surprised or taken aback at the answers/responses/opinions that are offered..."Welcome to the party pal"
