That's not even a valid point. It doesn't matter what Shelby thought about doing....it's what he did.

Replicas are replicas. They were meant to "replicate".

It doesn't matter if he thought about putting a Allis Chalmer tractor engine in there. The only thing that does matter is what he ended up putting in it.

Who's to say.....Maybe even at some point, Shelby was laughing with some of the guys saying, "Wouldn't it be cool if this thing was 4 wheel drive and had 31x10.5 mud tires on it?"

He thought about it, right? Then should we have legal license to make a car crusher out of a Cobra and call it a Cobra replica?

No.
