...all though the very term 'continuation' is at least as suspect as the term 'completition'. Completiton of WHAT? Continuing from WHAT? The lineage of the 60's? Gimme a break.
I do agree that a third party is better suited in this situation to be the keepers of Cobra history, which is one of the reasons that I support SAAC.

As for the "terms" for the non-60's Shelby Cobras, they are pretty explanitory. The Completion cars were supposed to be Cobras completed from old parts. Of course, that was BS, but that's what they were called. The Continuation cars, are continuations of Cobra production after a period of cars not being built. How can you say it's not from lineage of the 60s? Everything interchanges with a 60s Cobra. It's the same car, it was just built at a different point in time.
