If Shelby had continued Cobra production much beyond 1968, the cars would have evolved into something quite different from the originals, in order to meet changing federal standards. Quite likely, they would have morphed into something like the Series1 or the first generation Viper, which - like it or not - sort of fit with Shelby's vision of what a "modern day" Cobra would look like. They would have been called Shelby Cobras, but there would probably still be people wanting to build replicas of the original 60's cars.
