You may in fact get a good return on your investment and I hope you do.

Feel better calling names? Feel better trying to knock what you don't have?. Just like third grade.
See, here is the point you just can't seem to grasp. I'm not looking to win or lose anyone. I rarely take my Cobra to car shows these days. Prefer driving it much more than sitting in a lawn chair answering questions and worrying about baby carriages.
I'm rarely asked if its "original". Usually asked if "it's real" to which I answer truthfully that it is and identify it as a Continuation series Cobra. I have found more and more over the years an ever increasing number of people know about the continuation Shelby's. While there is no doubt that the fascination of an inquirer would be very high if mine where an original I can say that ever overwhelming usual overall reaction is extreme interest and fascination followed by a bevy follow up questions with impressed smiles ear to ear.
But I didn't buy my Shelby for others or what others think. Nope. I sold my beautiful ERA replica (likely nicer than your SPF and now owned by Peter Portante) because I wanted to own a Shelby Cobra not a replica of one.
Forget about the "original" issue , Hey every time you refer to your car as a "Cobra" or tell anyone "it's a Cobra" you are lying. Very simply its not even close. Fact. It's a hot rod with a plastic Cobra lookalike shell on it which just so happens to be a fake licensed by SAI. The Shelby's are Cobras. Yours? Nope. That's the bottom line. Your not pull'n any punches so I'm returning the favor. Truth hurts.
You got one of the worst cases of sour grapes here I have seen in years. Must suck.
Oh, and yes, my Cobra is worth nearly twice what I paid right now.
