Uh, wait, I don't understand something. If it's a 4000-series, how can it be a "1965 Cobra?"

In Texas, replicas are titled in the year they represent.
The red one looks VERY familiar (wink, wink).

I still don't understand why they put those years on a title but glad that the one I looked at also had replica on it.
Hey be nice I was told I polluted the Chevy Cobra picture thread. I still don't see how the Cobra word is used for ones not from the '62-67 period. I thought Chevy roadster was a better name.
If a continuation owner puts a chevy engine in one wouldn't that hurt resale value?

You don't live in Texas, so you don't have to understand. |

Honestly have no idea what state does what on a cobra replica or others makes for that matter.
All I know when I do searches for what we know as an original Cobra it seems like most everything else shows up and the misleading year is my biggest complaint. That's my experience:eek: |

That's funny; I have had the same experience. But I suspect we are the only two.

Mine was titled that way too. And it was a CA title to boot (I have a copy if anyone would like to see it).
So why does every topic that doesn't even start off that way have to return to beating dogs and kicking dead horses? I guess it hasn't been brought up for a while so maybe it's time again. But nothing new will be added... |

The CSX being sold explains why it was titled a 1965 if anyone would bother to read the description.
The Car… This all aluminum rocket was recreated by Shelby American in 2006, but titled as a proper 1965 as it was produced with many OEM period parts and certified Shelby craftsmanship. Not to be confused with a tribute, this car was produced by Shelby and has a CSX production vin number that represents its a genuine Shelby car. |

I understand that - but even a CSX isn't titled as a 65 in all states. CA no longer does, you get a new VIN even though the CSX VIN is recognized in some states. Mine somehow slipped under the radar screen in CA I think because it was a retitle from another country (Mexico). Not all states will title it that way any more. Some do. Texas and Colorado do.
I think that perhaps the oxymoron here is that the SPF is listed at the auction as a 2004 while the CSX is listed as a 65.
It is an interesting academic discussion. I wonder how states that title a Shelby CSX4000 car as a 65 handle a Factory 5 1933 Ford Roadster replica, or a Superformance Corvette Grand Sport? There, maybe I added something new. It is a question I've never seen asked in the framework of this discussion. |

Good for them I could care less...as stated I waste a lot of time having to come across what is not what I am looking for. If I wanted a 1965 made in 1987 Cobra with OEM period parts I would put that in my search engine.
Why don't they just put all that intel in their title instead of 1965 Cobra.
I also have no issue with what is original/kit/continuation/pretender/copy/reproduction...just put it in the title... |
