Best response to, "Is that an original?"

[jdog]

No blue tag on my car & I have already renewed my registration once. I guess not all Calif cars have a different state issued number.

The only other tag on my car is the SB100 sticker that BAR put on it and it says CSX4795 as well.

BTW I got 'stopped' this morning by one of Folsom PD's finest, for 'chirping' my tires at a stop light. He ran my plates & registration, let me go with a 'warning'!

No issues with my registration as of this morning!

The CHP didn't add a blue tag to my Authentic '65 model 427sc built in 2006 Shelby Cobra because the serial #CSX4812 was stamped into my frame and corresponds to Shelby's manufacturer's statement of origin "SHELBY AMERICAN CSX4812" . The CHP properly assigned vin#CSX4812 to their entry to the Cali DMV. My period correct '63 thru '67 black and gold Cali license plate is simply CSX4812. I love it.
The crowd of CHP's that gathered around the car for some forty minutes that day admired the whole of the car sooo much that they missed the non DOT goodyear billboards.

And like Jdog, it's been renewed once already.

Answer to the question is "No mine's not one of the originals, it's a brand new one from Carroll Shelby.":

I am a very happy dude. I hope that all of you are enjoying your cars as much as I do mine. Thats what it has gotta be about!!

And Jdog, I know that you still have to be pinchin' yourself when you open the garage and turn the key.

My mistake then. They must still be using the CSX# as a valid vehicle ID# but still requiring registration under SB100 as a special construction vehicle. Does your registration read "Special Construction" or a similar abreviation?
I was stopped once in my car and the officer and dispatcher were confused by this designation and did not mention what it was a replica of.
