Stick Shift?
The car is absolutely gorgeous, show quality everywhere.
Stick shift.
It's one of the 50 or so cars built by shelby in the 90's from new old stock parts - so it's the real thing.

Rollmaster was off the shelf - the factory is right here in my hometown of Adelaide in south Australia.
Not trying to get an argument started cause I totally respect you and your work. But the later Cobras were little more than Ford/Shelby authorized kit cars. Fiberglass bodies instead of aluminum, "NOS" parts that really weren't. Shelby was a salesman and a darn good one.
Well, this has an alloy body to start with, original chassis etc. Dunno who told you they were glass bodied kit cars, but this one sure isn't.

Some are. I repaired one for a customer that was fiberglass. I was under the impression that all the CSX.... continuation ones were. My bad.
High quality metal, body and paint work

I think, and I could be wrong, that the 1st 50 were all built from NOS parts, but demand was there so they continued building them with glass bodies etc.

That's a windsor tunnel port, not an FE.

Yep, but did you hear how much they flowed on the intake side.
