It is us, through SB100, who are the benificiaries. If I bought a Resurrection Cobra and couldn't register it, I'd be pissed, and with good reason.
We can drive ours. A Resurrection owner can't. Same car. And you're up in arms?

But mine is registered, legal, fully insured and I also don't drive it. The best of all worlds.
Yes, the two cars (our Kirkham's and the "Resurrection" Shelby Cobra) are roughly in the same ball park, though with twin Paxton's, your Kirkham is on a different Kirkham "plane" than my basic "nuts and bolts" Kirkham. But we're legal, fully insured and registered. Not sure what your point is.
I just think, if the very wealthy owner of a "Resurrection" Cobra wants to take the risk of driving his or her illegal, unregistered, uninsured uber expensive car on a public road, then maybe he or she might be willing to take additional risks (e.g., excessive speed, burnouts, donuts, side shows
), that you or I wouldn't.
Anyway, I'm not "up in arms." As I said earlier, I'd be at least mildly upset, if I were an owner of a 1960's CSX. And it seems that Evan, as an owner of one of the finest CSX4000's on the planet, is at least "tweaked" about Shelby calling them "completion" Cobras and giving them the designation of CSX 3000's. Me, I'm OK.
