I'm not sure they can USE a CSX number without a major legal battle on their hands, and I doubt they would win. COX may be as good as it will get for them......

I don't mind Shelby signing stuff, but if I were him, I would be much more discerning about which "Cobras" I signed. I have seen some Cobras signed by him that clearly DON'T deserve that recognition, others that clearly do even though they are replicas.

I wonder if I would want him to sign my Excalibur for instance? I love that car, I think it's great for ME. At the same time I don't kid myself, it's far down on the list of "accurate" replicas.

I know and like to study what IS accurate, thats the "baseline" I use to compare others. I totally accept the others as bringing something "different" to the party and I can celebrate that in good faith. I recently won first place at a car show, "peoples choice" award!! I was really stoked and got a nice trophy! If I had been the judge, I would have voted for an SPF over mine (glad there weren't any there, lol).
