Speaking spin, SAAC has them with logically, fairly and correctly, well, that's your opinion. I disagree. All Cobra, Daytona Coupe and GT40 replicas in the Registry should be removed. Then we're talking about logically, fairly and correctly. Cars built 50 years later that aren't built by the same company, using the same parts and built by the same employees are simply REPLICAS.

Hopefully the SAAC Board and membership will evolve and remove everything but the originals. That's what I would do.

You may certainly disagree with SAAC. Free country.

....So then if SAI had remained in existence without interruption and today still produced the same Cobra but the sources of parts, chassis and employees were different they would still be replicas/fakes?

They would be what they are today, Shelby Cobras produced at a different time and place with new components. Same car just newer.

By your logic once a manufacturer stops making a car they can never make the car again. Silly.
