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.......


Bill S.
SAAC itself call them "authentic" vs. "original".
Do you disagree with SAAC? (Which is made up largely of owners of "original" cars).
