If you read clearly you will notice that they said all of the units sold out to private owners and dealers... hense most of them went to dealers who think they can get that nasty "ADM" again on these :yellowcard3:

I'm amazed SA has not stopped them from manufacturing the car. Seeing Superformance are the only Shelby Licensed co.

thinking about this.. Probably because they don't call it a "Cobra" but Kirkham calls it 427xxx and 289xxx

Thankyou very much for the info.

There are a number of "unlicensed" companies out there that make a Cobra like roadster. One of the most prolific is Factory Five, they just can't call it a Shelby or Cobra.

Ya I think that superformance has a license agreement with Shelby

correct...and are the only ones....LD and i looked into them when we were researching for her kit....they come assembled minus the eng and tranny, which we didnt want, we want to build it from ground up. Factory Five was another, but she didnt like the fact they use used donor parts. We picked Hurricane Motorsports. Even though donor parts, their new and not used...:grin:
