Look, I hate to be negative, I love all things Shelby, but here's the problem.

From the web site in the News section:

Quote:
Planet Cobra to Sell Genuine 427 Shelby Cobra at 3rd Annual Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Auction
September/2010PLANET COBRA TO SELL GENUINE 427 SHELBY COBRA AT 3RD ANNUAL BARRETT-JACKSON LAS VEGAS AUCTION

The car being sold is CSX6060, a modern Shelby replica. Words like "genuine", "continuation", "real Shelby" are embarrasing. The headline in this case gives one the feeling that it's a genuine real Shelby Cobra from the 60's, a CSX3000 series car. Of course it is not. I just find it uncomfortable to be associated with a group, replica Cobra owners, (including of course, Shelby American) associated with this kind of misleading and confusing terminology. I would feel far more comfortable with an accurate, real, genuine, description of the cars Shelby sell's today.
