Could you clarify your suggested criteria for qualifying as an "authentic" Shelby Cobra (e.g., must all criteria be met, or only some)?
For example, what if a CSX 4000/6000 car has a Shelby FE block, but the engine was not built by Carroll Shelby Engine Company? Is it an authentic Shelby, or not? What about a CSX 4000/6000 that has a NOS/vintage iron 427 FE engine?
I appreciate any elucidation you can provide.
