On the subject of what "year" a particular car was, I wonder if the sale and subsequent registration date determined what "year" the car was titled vs. a particular car's production date. Let's remember, these cars were expensive and not all that popular sales-wise when they were new. Many sat on dealers' lots for months if not years before they were sold. I'll go out on a limb and state for the sake of argument that when a car was sold and the MSO was presented to the owner's local DMV, the year on the title was the current year when the title was applied for. The concept of Cobras changing by model year just doesn't add up. They were produced with running production changes without regard for a particular model year. It would be interesting to see if there is a corellation between the car's VIN and the model year in which it was registered. The SAAC Registry lists the cars by sequential VIN, not "model year".
