Kit Car Magazine, March 03 Shelby
I don't want to start a replica/original debate here... been there, done that.
The March 2003 Kit Car magazine has a full page ad for Shelby American which states...
"* Recognized in the Shelby American World Registry as an authentic Cobra "
Just curious, I thought the Shelby club (SAAC ?) recognized the car as a "Shelby", i.e. manufactured by Shelby with a CSX number, not the authenticity of the car as a "Cobra". Maybe I'm splitting hairs.
Anybody know anything about this? Just interested in SAAC's position.
Again, please no debates about replica/original stuff.
Thanks,
- Dan

...SAAC recognizes the new CSX cars as "authentic Cobras, but not original Cobras"
...but, SAAC also now recognizes the Eleanor GT500 omelet as something, but I'm not quite sure what that actually is....  |

Bet you guys thought I'd respond to this thread.
Hah!
Fooled ya!
Ah, who'm I kidd'n anywaay (in my best Fat Bastard immitation).
The new CSX is considered by SAAC as an authentic (read REAL here) Cobra. Thus it is eligible for the Registry.
Kit Car would be a natural place to advertise for Shelby since the most popular subject of Kit Car is Cobras and alot of people interested in Cobras/Cobra replicas buy Kit Car. Seems to lend support to those that say that the Kit Car market has been a benefit to SAI.
Sorry.

It may be in the Registry ...
Just watch out where you park it for those anniversary photos!
Whatever you want to call it, the lesson is that when it comes time to sell it, take it to Barret Jackson. and have Carroll stand next to it.
Ron,
EVERYBODY recognizes an Elanor GT500. You can't miss it. Like pornography, you can't desc.ribe it, but you know it when you see it.

Boy...two guys that like the Eleanor GT500.
Are we talking about the same car?
I'm referring to the butt-fugly, bad dream of a junk-yard fastback Mustang...rotisserie-restored, be-scooped, low-ridered, mishmosh caricature of a GT500, contract-built and hyped by a marketing company, hawked at a six-figure price tag, kissed by CS and magically recognized by the hereby-diluted recognition committee at SAAC.
Is that the same car you like?

It Ain't Even the Original Elanor, Evan!
It isn't even a copy of the original, real Elanor, which came out of a Gardena California junkyard. The only thing the original Elanor and the Elanor GT500s have in common is that they don't have any Shelby parts in them.
The CSX4000 cars are Shelbys, and should be in the registry - but any of the Elanors???? Have we gotten to the point where CS just has to look at a car and SAAC registers it?
Can't wait to see the E GT500 in music and rap videos! They're way cool, dude. Or, should I say, phat??
And, least we forget: Only an aging trophy wife can get the price up to six figures.

Speaking of the Eleanor
The write up on the Eleanor in this months Kit Car makes the following statement...
"In the 60's, Ford delivered unifinished Mustangs to Shelby American and many have been stored ever since. The cars will be restored, rebuilt and rescued, and will be offered as Limited Edition Continuations."
Hmmm, I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think I've heard this story somewhere before...
