Lets all remember that dear ol' Shelby created the Cobra & Tiger by combining different cars that were not related! He was the "ultimate" kit car builder from the '60s! And the same could be said of Dr Porsche, he was no more than a "hot rodder" himself.

A couple of yrs ago I was on a vacation and spent a week with one of the original Marketing Dept folks from Shelby in the '60s. He said Shelby was really all about selling cars to support his car habit (as in addiction) in those days. He longed to still be able to race and this was as close as he could get!

The fun and enjoyment is about how each of us is creative- like an artist- and have some pride in what we create!
