This paperwork states that Shelby American, Inc had produced a minimum of 100 identical Cobra II, 427 automobiles to the specifications listed during the twelve-month period ending December, 1965. Is this the paperwork that got thrown out due to the lack of sufficient cars being built? Is this paperwork still valid?
