Several have confused it on paper as a Mustang Cobra.
Hey Morgan,

It really depends on the state the car is first titled in. Such states as Florida and Virginia title them as the year they replicate. States such as NJ/NY/PA/CA title them as the year they are first being titled (IE: 2008 for the current year)......However, when they are bought from SAI, the MSO's that I have seen list them as 1965's, when in fact they were produced just last year. Again the Shelby machine is doing a wonderful job of marketing them as "1965's", but the reality of it all is that they are not. Shelby does make a wonderful recreation of the original, there is no doubt about it, but to call them anything but "recreations" is a slap in the face to all of those who own original "built in the 60's" Cobras.......
