Now that might imply that continuation Cobras are Coke-a-Cola, but more likely I think it might imply that they are likely "real" Shelby Cobras.
Evan,
If Carroll Shelby used the term "real" to describe his continuation Shelby Cobras I think he would be OK with you calling your car "real" too. Why do you need SAAC's approval if the Shelby himself thought it was OK. If the man was OK with "real", I guess I am OK with it too.
Now if you call your car "original" or claim that Carroll personally installed your hood scoop to get the rivet patter just right, I am going to be upset with you. I will be watching to keep you in line... |
I hope my SAAC friends are not paying attention... If you are and want to unfriend me on facebook, remember my real name is, umm, Bill, wait no, ... how about, Vernon, ... ah yeah that's it.
