It's rare to see originals. Most are replicas.

Spoiler: it's a replica :( - http://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1967-SHELBY-COBRA-RE-CREATION-ROADSTER-16326

Figured. No sane person drives it out like that and leaves it parked.

That takes me back to the days of cheating in Age of Empire...
ShelbyTheDESTROYER
I was named after this car! I could only afford a mustang though :c
alexdag85
That’s the real deal jeez I can’t believe that’s out
ArentWetheWaggies
I couldn't believe it either. Owner was friendly and proud of it. Good for him! I was amazed at how small it is in real life!
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
All those British sports car designs from the 50s and 60s are tiny by today's standards
alexdag85
Rare to see one but too meet an owner that’s not a total grump ... put some numbers on the lottery bro lol ha never know !
notsostealthyninja
It's not the original. It's a kit: http://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1967-SHELBY-COBRA-RE-CREATION-ROADSTER-16326

If it's perfect and clean, it's a replica, or one of the Shelby new builds on the old title chassis. The originals have wear on them.

STARWARSjustkeepsgettingworsesince1983
a good rule of thumb: if you see it on the street, 99% chance its replica. that being said, i'm not sure on this one could go either way
MaladaptedMedic
Could also be resto-modded? I see some things here and there that don't look perfectly original.
DoesItThough
We had a guy around here that had/has a real one that would take it for a spin. She was mean and quick. Wouldn't put it in shows because 1/2
DoesItThough
There would be too many people near it. But a spin around the county he was about.
STARWARSjustkeepsgettingworsesince1983
my biggest pet peeve is car collectors who just buy them to let them sit in a garage. enjoy them!
STARWARSjustkeepsgettingworsesince1983
overall impression of someone who's built a few kits, looks legit. but has a few non-original touches.
ArentWetheWaggies
The fella who owned it said it was legit. I didn't quiz him on it though. He was very proud of it. As well he should be. It was beautiful!
gamejeepboi
tl;dr - You're correct. it's a kit: http://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1967-SHELBY-COBRA-RE-CREATION-ROADSTER-16326
STARWARSjustkeepsgettingworsesince1983
not the first time ive been fooled :)
craighchrist
Not the same car.
gamejeepboi
I'm guessing you're referring to the glovebox missing; the originals, as pointed out by others, didn't have glove boxes.
gamejeepboi
So the one in the post is almost certainly a replica, otherwise someone made a huge mistake.

Replica or real, it's awesome either way
JJDeuce
What a beautiful death trap
nastyinthepasty
That's my car!
ErlichBachman85
Back when he was alive, Shelby would sign any glovebox if you mailed it to them along with a donation to his charity. Superformance replica?
ArentWetheWaggies
I asked the fella if it was legit. He smiled and nodded and said yup! I didn't quiz him.
KaleoM
What city is this?
GandalfTheOctarine
Hopefully no torrential rain that day
shelbybob428
Shelby would sign glove boxes for a fee that went to his Heart Fund. His signature isn't a sign it's authentic.

Fellow Iowan!!

Fellow Dutchman!!!!!!
roguerpi
Guys. These replicas are very common. They can look clean and nice, but they're all replicas.
MyInnerDialogue
LuciferRattlehead
Real car guys/gals actually drive their cars.
gotchasucka
I was thinking replica until I saw the signature. Was there no one watching over it this $1M+ car?
notsostealthyninja
It's not the original. It's a kit: http://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1967-SHELBY-COBRA-RE-CREATION-ROADSTER-16326
JuliusPepperwoodFromChicago
For a while, you could mail your glove box door to Shelby and he would sign it for a fee that he donated to charity.
brutsku
Same here. But damn that is SWEET car!
v6sonoma
He only died not long ago and they still make and sell them. So it could be an original or it could be a late model one still from Shelby.
6Oh4
Who the fuck drives an original and parks it out in the open like that? I'd have a hired guard when I Park it.
mercbrit
Fake signature
purr
idk, seems legit to me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihe5v8iXSdw
ArentWetheWaggies
The guy who owned it said it was legit. He was beaming with pride. If it was a replica he doesn't know it
gotchasucka
Possibly, but you'd have to be quite the douchebag to do that. And people would call you on it.
ArentWetheWaggies
There was a very very happy gentleman who was there. Asked him if it was his and legit he smiled, yup. If replica then fooled me and him.
Buttholium
I have a feeling that people who own replicas will say they're legit because they are tired of people asking if they are originals or not
guzzbird
Certainly not the case here in the UK. My dad had a Dax kit some years ago and it was lovely, but you'd never try and pass it off as an AC
gotchasucka
One of the most beautiful cars of all time. Thanks for sharing!
SlikWillie
I don't think that a real SC is going to fetch over $1M. I do love em tho. Maybe $500k. Check Hemmings, you'll see.
TacticalSpoon
It depends on their pedigree. Cars that are documented race winners go for way more than standard. Aside from that, you're right.
yabadabadoodledoo
They've fetched up to $6mil so it's not out of the question
gamejeepboi
not even close: http://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1967-SHELBY-COBRA-RE-CREATION-ROADSTER-16326
LeumisRichardson
Honestly, if I wasn't allowed to sell it, I think I would rather have a high end replica. I'd be afraid to drive the real thing.
10GTR
Replica. But at 66k that was a bargain.
KaleoM
It's kinda close.
gamejeepboi
I guess you're correct.
cptyarderho
Has to be a replica, who leaves a car that valuable just sitting out like that.
ArentWetheWaggies
He was standing there talkn with another admirer. You can see his wife in one of the photos. He said it was legit.
gamejeepboi
He lied :( http://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1967-SHELBY-COBRA-RE-CREATION-ROADSTER-16326
gamejeepboi
It's a replica :( http://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1967-SHELBY-COBRA-RE-CREATION-ROADSTER-16326
RedReign66
Thats different from the one in the post.
gamejeepboi
I don't see any proof from you, yet regardless, as others have pointed out, originals didn't have glove boxes either.
gamejeepboi
( I'm guessing you're referring to the glove box -- which the BJ replica doesn't have, which is actually accurate unlike the one pictured )
WardSharlow
It's a replica. A guy with a million dollar car probably doesn't hold his garage remote control together with duct tape.
BabyWallaby
He probably spent all his money on the car and had to resort to duck tape
metzershmit
But he's in the $5.00 parking. He has to have a lot of money.
chefryank
Never underestimate the thirfty nature of the rich. Most dont get rich and throw money around

5$ parking... wtf
HerpNDerpington
Yeah everyone looking at the car and I'm like "$5? EVENT??"
GavinScreaming
I can't tell if you think this is a lot or a little
ArentWetheWaggies
I know!!! For downtown farmers market... plenty of street room thankfully
dmjfourth
Des Moines? Looks like des moines. Great farmers market.

Nailed it!
