OK, there genuine Shelby's. But here's at least one problem I'd like to avoid. The "is it real" when asked at a cruise in, on the street or where ever. Even with a modern CSX continuation series car I would have to hesitate when asked that question. Do I have the time to "assplain it"? Quick, easy answer of "yes" is acceptable under some conditions (at a stop light for instance). Bottom line is the question requires at least some thought, some slight disclaimer to be really accurate.

I therefore find myself wondering, is it worth the extra dollars and STILL have to contemplate that question when it arises? It's the kind of thing that "eats at you" after awhile. Like I loved my Excalibur, but as time went on, the body shape, the motor specs, the general build/design inaccuracies began to "eat at me". Man I would hate to spend the big bucks on a continuation Shelby and find that question "haunting" me over time.
But maybe it wouldn't, maybe...
