Not Ranked
I do not understnd something. Shelby has been selling "original" aluminum body cars. People who want an "original-like" car will buy one of those. Once Shelby goes to fiberglass, he just has a replica. It is not "original" and it is not aluminum. This adds to confusion about a Shelby car. Will this not destract from his "original-like" cars and their value and desireability? People who want a Shelby car can get a much cheaper reproduction and not have to step up to the aluminum body car.
Let us assume that the car is as good or better than the SPF. If it is not, Shelby is putting his name at stake. If it is, Shelby risks looking like a "me too" copy instead of a unique prestige. Yhis looks to me like trying for short-term gain at the risk of long-term loss. Why is Shelby bluring the line?
