There is only one Company that is still legally manufacturing Cobras. SAI. However, The only 2 companies continuing to produce authentic Cobras as according to the leading authoroty are Shelby and Kirkham ... this according to the SAAC World Registry. If you want a "Cobra" those are your choices outside of those made in the 60s.

Since you purchased a GT350 (awesome car btw) likely the SAI pedigree means something to you and it should if you love Cobras. Nothing but a Shelby can deliver that.


The rest are replicas of Cobras. Out of that group my vote goes to ERA.

Lets get our terms straight.

I expect the non Shelby owning peanut gallery to jump in with their usual self serving analysis of the term "replica" but the fact remains the official position has been stated and is in print in the leading authoritative text on the subject. All their analysis and foot stamping won't change things.
