Best response to, "Is that an original?"

[YerDugliness]

1. "Is it real?"

"Sure is, I drive it every day, weather permitting!

Now, would you like to sit in it and have your photo taken with your cell phone or camera?"

2. "Is it original?"

"No sir/ma'am, it is just a very convincing replica. An original Shelby would never be driven on the street, they are worth $500,000 even if they are just parts in a basket. Any time you see one of these on the streets, you can take it to the bank that it is not a genuine, original Sheby Cobra from the 1960's.

Now, would you like to sit in it and have your photo taken with your cell phone or camera?"

My hopes are that with that additional bit of information, the person asking the question will not burden the next replica owner he encounters with the same question.

Yeah, I know there may be a few original 1960's CSX vehicles that MAY see some street use, but what are the chances anyone might see one? Right.....

Cheers!

CSX2052 spends its winters at the Shelby American Collection. In the summer it is out and in the wild.

Maybe in Houston Dugly.

There are at least 3 originals in Dallas that are driven frequently.
