After Carrol Shelby's death Superformance / Hilbank essentially became Shelby American. Hilbank / Superformance complete both the aluminum (chassis supplied by Kirkham) and fiberglass Continuation Cobras to "roller" status. Hilbank has a subcontractor that assembles the HiTech supplied body / chassis into "rollers", I am assuming that this subcontractor does the same for the Kirkham supplied chassi / bodies. The only involvement that Shelby American Inc has in the production of Cobras anymore is supplying some components (suspension, exhaust, etc) that are needed in the completion of the Superformance / Hilbank built "roller" Continuation Cobras. The other involvement SAI has with Superformance / Hilbank is the licensing agreement to call the Cobras they build Shelby Cobras and give them CSX serialized vin numbers.
