I agree with you on that point, but my concern with most of these "new" Shelby's is: who's really making the money? Is it Carroll, or is it some company who is taking advantage of the Shelby namesake, and simply giving Ol' Shel a paltry royalty???

And when the Eleanor fad dies (which it will), will said company stick by Shelby and continue to try and help keep his legendary cars going, or will they drop him like a hot rock and move on to the next trend?
