Didn't Shel really sue back AC in the day.
I really don't think you can call it a replica, or a continuation. It's not a "Shelby" either.
Talking to the salesman today, he explained it like this - Same factory, one chassis gets shipped to US and turned into a CSX car once it has BBF added. This chassis gets left behind, and BBF engine gets shipped to England and installed. Both are Cobras, one is a Shelby, this one is an AC. Both are from the late 60s.
It's an enigma. So, is it valuable?
