In my opinion, they will never be a '67 Shelby. I don't mean to nit picky. Its a clone/replica, whichever term you prefer, of the original car of which there is only one.
"The 1967 Shelby Super Snake continuation cars will use 1967 donor Mustangs and include a Shelby serial number for the official Shelby registry." I don't approve of that either.
Absolutely sacrilege. Whoring out vin numbers simply waters down the value of our original cars. It's all about the dollar. not the love of the vehicles.

I am still waiting to see their version of the....OFFICIAL SHELBY REGISTRY.... ::)
Already a thread on this.

No biggie but you might want to check that.
Well I was going to eventually return my 67 GT500 to its original color of Wimbledon white but am now rethinking my strategy....It wouldn't be fair to the owners of these new cars if my tired 50 year old mustang was mistaken for one....Especially since they dropped 250 large for the privilege of getting into such an exclusive club....... ::) ::) ::)(oh well,back to the royal wedding planning)
Both cars might be real Shelbys (by license), but only one is original. 8)
Precisely. Carroll Shelby has absolutely nothing to do with this production, design or otherwise. I also will not recognize their registry, as it does no more than attempt to legitimize piss-poor builds by essentially anyone who can pony up a few thousand to use the name.

And the dismal 7 3/4 Rear and accompanying 9" drum brakes! ( Drag chute optional)
I'm sure when you search the dictionary for the correct word, "continuation" allows you to up the price. No, copy, clone, or tribute isn't a multiplier....enough.
And no, these will not devalue the real ones built at the airport in L.A. to the folks who know what is real.
How about replica???

I think I am going to....HURL.... :o
As most know on here I am trying to to have REAL-ORIGINAL car from Shelby American with the same attributes of the original Super snake to beat that record run. I asked many times on here how much power was needed to go that fast back in the day and no knew until it was answered in the story line. I am right there with horsepower but mine is not a light weight 427 it is a heavy original 427 medium riser with all components dated 1965. Maybe they liked my idea of bringing back a 50 year old legend :-\, Well they do have a lot deeper pockets than I do but mine is still coming together slowly. Hope to have it done for Nor-Cal this summer!
