How do you answer, "Is it real?"

Oh no, not again. There will be nothing new said because all of this has already been said at least 10 times.

If you have a CSX you have a REAL SHELBY COBRA, just not an ORIGINAL SHELBY COBRA. In most cases the uneducated are asking for an answer to the latter question.

Now, when people ask me, "is that real?" I tell them "you bet it is! and what's more, this was Carrol's personal Cobra that he hand built himself." They then take pics, call their friends, go away happy and I feel better about the whole exchange.

The interesting thing was when I had my car it happened almost every time I took it out. Most had no idea what the car was or even who Shelby was, only that they had never seen one before so they got the short history lesson of the 60's versions and the continuation cars still being made by Shelby. Others said (and I'm not kidding) "Carroll Shelby still makes cars? I thought he was dead". No kidding. Others weren't any more interested than had it been a Model T and just knew it had to be "old" but weren't really interested in knowing the gory details just the basics. With the "Ford V Ferrari" movie the interest in Cobras might be greater now for a while.

Remember, it's not the reality of what they're seeing that matters but rather the perception of what they're seeing. If they believe it to be real, then it is real... to them, at least.
