Sorry, Ned, I see now that you addressed what I later posted, regarding the majority (75%) of the SA being purchased by a company called Venture, because SA was having cash flow problems. And then several years later, the new corporate structure must have taken the company public in order to get some or all of their equity returned. Page 710 in the Registry.
And please ignore Evan. Your COB is far more desirable than his replica. And his CSX4000 or any other Shelby replica will never be worth the same as your COB. He obviously says this BS in order to get under your skin, it's part of his "schtick."
The facts are that Evan chooses to ignore that the original SA company no longer exists, the material used in the modern Shelby replicas are completely different than the originals, the current "certain liberties were taken" Registry mentions that the Shelby CSX4000 is "Cobra-like" and a "true replica" and the SAAC website statement was revised the delete any reference to "real", "authentic" or "genuine."
It's a rebadged Kirkham with a CSX plaque and for that privilege (the badges and plaque) you get to pay an addtional $65,000 (difference between Kirkham and an alloy 50th Anniversary Edition). And somehow that makes sense to some people.
