Default Original Cobras were not component cars

Posted by Power Surge: "Let us not forget, that original comp and S/Cs were component vehicles too. They rollers were made by AC, and shipped to Shelby, minus drivetrain (and paint). Shelby added the drivetrains, and then sold them as complete cars. But that was the 60s, and the Cobra could be sold back then as a completed car in it's design. Today, to sell the same car, it has to be sold to the public as a component car.[/quote]



The original Cobras were "Cars" they were not "Component Cars" By the definition you are implying you would have to call many modern day cars "component cars"
