REAL 1,
It's one thing to express an opinion as such. It's another to state an opinion and use the actions of the SAAC to claim it as a fact. The fact that the SAAC exists, it maintains a registry, and that registry includes some cars but not others does not make the cars it includes automatically more collectible, more valuable or more authentic than any others manufactured after 1967. What it likely reflects is that the SAAC must have permission from the Shelby Trust to use his name and the Trust wants the SAAC to include in its registry contemporary cars in which it has a financial interest. If Shelby American could make the right deal with FFR, it wouldn't surprise me a bit to see them added to the registry. So, I suggest you allow the market to determine the relative values of the various Cobra clones produced after 1967. Your claims that those recently manufactured cars listed in the SAAC registry are intrinsically more authentic than others comes across as either naive or self serving.
