What I'm about to write is pure specultaion. When i was at the BAR and talking to the referee, he said NO Shelby continuation Cobras can be registered under SB-100. He gave me two reasons:

1. Shelby is a licensed manufacturer - therefore it doesn't meet the requirements of a "specially constructed vehicle".

2. Usually, most people purchase the Shelby continuation series vehicles complete - with an engine and tranny installed by Shelby. Once again, this does not meet the requirements of a "specially constructed vehicle".

Although he did say that he does know of one that did go through SB-100 and the DMV didn't catch it. But he also said that they may be getting letters from the DMV down the line. CA just doesn't like Shelby - specially for the reason when Carroll tried to pass off the special Cobras built from all original parts and then got caught because the frames were not original. From what I understand, they were new frames left outside to look old.

Again, lots of speculation on my part and heresay. But it does make sense. Good Luck!
