Game, set, match. (And now I'm done. )

He's back. Now there's a man of his word.

I certainly hope you didn't waste a lot of time on finding that listing.

Actually, you're so confused now that you've lost your original point, which was what defines a kit car versus a replica:

A. "state of assembly" (i.e., "If it's in boxes....."), or
B. engine manufacturer (only Ford engines) need apply (e.g., no Viper V10's).

My answer, "It's all in the Registry."

If you believe that listing you posted approximates the shape of an original Cobra, then I feel sorry for you.
