Do I get worked up over terms? I wouldn't say worked up but I like to keep opinions from encroaching on facts.
SAAC, who is the world accepted authority on Cobras and replicas of Cobras defines all the terms you guys are talking about and struggling to define.
You are free to use your own definitions but I prefer to use and go with the acceptd meaning of the terms as set by the authoritative text on the subject...The SAAC Registry.

   Trotting out the same old tired "fact."
Just because everyone else is jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge doesn't necessary mean we have to follow them.
Mr. Kopec and Mr. Eber are only human beings, mere mortals, they have their opinions and they I'm sure have made their fair share of mistakes.
As you said, we're free, and we can hire our own experts.  |

Are you trying to say that Evan's authoritative citation is nothing more than "SAAC fiat?" |

Remember Apple's 1984 commercial with the women throwing a hammer at the screen to break the mind control of the State? That's what I mean. We the people are free to have a opinion different than SAAC and I've been a member since...a long time ago. |

Peter P. assures me that the Vatican II has specifically addressed the issue and that ERA cars are indeed real Cobras. They trump SAAC, by a mile. |

I seriously doubt if the average guy, or his wife and son, at the local cruise-in have ever heard of the SAAC Registry. You and I both know what he (or his 12 year-old son) means when he asks you if it is "real".
He is asking if the car is one of the "real" original '60s Cobras. He expects the honest truth.
I know you are proud of your continuation series car. Be proud of what it honestly is.

Evan mentions the SAAC World Registry. The new Registry, page 708, describes the 4000’s series as “component” cars”. This may be in keeping with the same term now used by Shelby Autos rather than "continuation". This was mentioned in another thread.
Continuation Cars
I would attach a picture of the Registry page but it is copywritten material. |

And isn't it true that owners of true, original CSX2xxx & CSX3xxx cars laugh at the notion that the continuation cars are "real Cobras?"  |
