Shelby passed away 3 years ago.
What you would be purchasing for the "price hike" is Not an original Shelby or a Shelby continuation, but a Shelby Replica,
With a reproduced Shelby issued CSX serial number, painted or polished body depending on body choice, and 50th Anniversary badging,
50th Anniversary floor mats, 50th Anniversary Cobra car cover.
Or for the extra dollars you spent you can say you own a Shelby American Cobra replica.
