True. That is a problem with perception. Merely the fact that using the word real may imply something or not depending on what is being asked or merely being stated factually doesn't change what it is. So all depends on what your definition of "real" is. If your definition and pool of candidates is limited to '62 to '68 the Continuation Shelby's are out.
If your definition includes originals and continuation Shelby's as does mine and the Registryi they're in but you should provide the clarification to those that inquire what generation the car belongs to. There is no doubt I own an undisputed, bona fide, authentic, true etc Shelby Cobra. Can't be disputed. Period. I justKe clear what generation or series it belongs to. Easy.
