[AL427SBF]

Per SAAC -

CSX Continuation Cobras: Current production Cobras built by Shelby to more less original standards delivered without engine and transmission.

This means the owner can install whatever motor & transmission they want and it is still a CSX Continuation Cobra, i.e. genuine Cobra. If Joe Dirt Sr. puts a cammer in his, and Joe Dirt Jr. puts a BB Chevy in his, both father and son are assured reserved parking in the Continuation Cobra section at the next SAAC gathering. If Joe Dirt Sr. says "son, you blew it with that BB Chevy", Joe Dirt Jr. can say "pops, you blew it with that cammer, suppose to be a 427 Side Oiler".

Kit Car or Replica: Any Car with a body which approximates the original Cobra shape, using any kind frame, suspension, brakes or driveline.

Here Kit Car and Replica are used interchangeably. So you ask the question Kit Car or Replica of what? Why a Cobra that's what. So Kit Car Cobra or Replica Cobra are valid terms to use for these 3rd party cars REGARDLESS of how close they follow the original cobra provided they have a body which approximates the original cobra. Chevy power, Ford power, Hemi power - it doesn't matter, they are all cobra replicas, any frame, suspension, brakes and driveline will do!

Whew, glad we got that ironed out before things started heading south!
