    I have a 65 Shelby R model clone, replica or what ever
    you want to call it. It is not an exact replica
    because I wanted to improve on the original.

    If I want to sell the car and I thing Shelby Inc. will
    create a problem what could they do if I advertise it
    as "Not a Shelby
    R model"? Anyone who will be interested in it will be
    able to figure out what it is and will buy it for what
    it is and how well it is put together. They will
    figure out it is a clone or a replica as I will tell
    them.
    It will still bring what it is worth as a Clone or
    Replica if it is a nice car. If there is a perceived
    value to the looks of the car because it looks like a
    Shelby R model then so be it. There is some real junk
    out there when it comes to people calling their cars
    Shelby clones. Too many people think they have a
    Shelby Clone or Replica if they just put some side
    stripes or a hood scoop on. Buyer beware and to bad
    for the idiots that pay big bucks because someone
    advertises the name Shelby in the add.
    Just my two cents worth.
