Damn it again! lol
I have a SAAC Atlanta 20 year poster. It says something like PROTECING SA and it's history. Now it doesen't say promoting, preserving or some more friendly word than protecting.
Now jump forward and read a blurb. Nowhere is KIT CAR used! Do a search.
:: SAAC ::
"So, to our way of thinking, the current crop of Cobras are genuine but are not original." Also not, "Real"!
"We now find that as the value of Cobras and Shelbys continues to appreciate, the cars have been priced beyond the means of some people who still want to be SAAC members. These people have opted to own Cobra replicas, Shelby look-alikes and other Ford performance cars of which there is presently no shortage. The national club is happy to have these people as participating members, and they add a lot to the club. We like to think of them as potential Cobra or Shelby owners."

There is a connection with any of these cars to the Shelby story, but it is "money" that decides how strong that connection is. The SAAC registry simply defines the 3 levels that exist and with criteria that recognizes the OEM (or non-OEM) relationship.
