Didn't see the autoexpress article (did you post?), but I think there are two different things going on RE 'new' cobras
1) Ford is talking about the 'new' cobra, as seen above, but there's no firm committment yet to make it (I think it is butt ugly)
2) Shelby is planning another run of the the 'old' style cobra (I would assume with more modern mechanicals), this time with AC making the bodies (as opposed to the last run a few years back, where the bodies were supposedly miraculously 'found' - or was it just spontaneous generation?)
Maybe I'm talking out of my bum here, but that's the impression I got from the EVO website. Or is AC making the 'new/new' bodies?
I would love an original as a collector car, but as for the new versions... sometimes it's better to let a legend remain a legend
