If you use "1965" as a model (not year built) then I guess it makes sense. If you use the term "1965 Shelby Cobra" to describe the car, are you just describing the model? If I were to tell someone that my car is a 1965 Cobra, most are going the think it was built in 1965. If I tell them it is a replica of a 1965 Cobra, then I think it is less confusing. Maybe this is why California will not except 1965 as a valid description for our cars. If you are going with Evans opinion that these are not replicas, then I think they should be called what they are. For example if I bought a new CSX 6000 it would be a "2010 Shelby Cobra".
