Not trying to step on any toes but how else could it happen?
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.
