Rodney, thanks for mentioning one other difference between the original Shelby Cobra and the modern Shelby Cobra replica, and that is a BUYER MUST COMPLETE his or her own Cobra since US laws prohibit selling them as a completed (by manufacturer or dealer, at least here in CA) and license-able vehicle today. And why the "Competition" series aka Resurrection Cobras must be sold as off road vehicles.
Talking watches puts me quickly asleep, but I have a question for you watch enthusiasts. When Rolex's are sold today, do Rolex buyers take the watch body or chassis and band back to their houses and then the Rolex buyers install the "movement and crystals" at home?
Lastly, I'm not questioning the continuity of the Shelby Cobra replica, since there was a gap in production from 1967 to 1996 or thereabouts. That doesn't meet the definition of continuity. What I'm questioning is the pedigree or lineage, since the company, employees, the building
and sales, registration and licensing process(es), parts, etc. aren't the same as what was used in the 1960's.
