Rolex does their manufacturing in house, from movements to crystals.
SAI farms their cars out of house, bumper to bumper.
having a license plate "Real 1" on a replica Cobra is misleading Joe Public

It's so obvious even a Nissan Leaf owner knows the difference. Wait, I meant to say bloody obvious, Evan thinks I'm a Brit 
Just think of all the people that see that plate and think WOW, and original 60's Cobra!!
Rest assured, I am not "intentionally" misleading anyone

Jeff,
A kit may have been a blessing but you can't argue with those results!
Me? If I had my druthers, I'd take an Exact Carbon (as a kit) and when I need help, I'd ask my pals at McCluskey.
Hmmmm...

Well, the McCluskey connection and lineage may actually be more valuable than Shelby's today.
Seriously, Rodney, what the heck do you need with another Cobra?

A very good point Rodnock.
Still wondering why the whole hub-up has gone silent about the "original" 3000 series cars. Not trying to stray or jack this thread. We already have one for the subject, but things sure seem to have gone quiet.
Just sayin'....

Once in a blue moon, I have them. A good point that is. 
I'm sure the Nissan Leaf Owners Association COB (Chairperson of the Board) will post a link to the auction, one of these days, and then we can argue about the fact that it has some unobtainium OEM starter switch, and THAT makes it a genuine Shelby Cobra circa 2015.

Well, I don't need one now, do I? As I get older, my needs become more complicated. 
Don't worry, it's just a dream. But it's not off the dream table.

Another vicious beating dished out to the now debunked and disgraced Mullen Rolex analogy.  I thought you were brighter than that. You have obviously been watching too much "Days of Our Lives" and have gone soft upstairs maybe.
Obviously no one or few here understands what an analogy is and the purpose in drawing analogies.
Are you aware that AC used subcontractors to form panels in the 60's also and used components from other manufacturers? Hmmm.
So now I am "intentionally" misleading people with my license plate? This is getting "richer" by the minute. My sides hurt from laughing.
Here is the deal. Last I checked my MSO and title and where my car came from was Shelby American. Last I check the World Registry of Cobras and GT40s said it was a genuine Shelby Cobra too and not classified as a "KIT". Thus my plate "REAL 427". I have never had a discussion with other motorist while actually driving on road fielding the question "Is it REAL". Further, I really don't care what motorists think, or feel or ponder when they see my plate. The plate is for me and reflects my legally and factually correct statement of what the car which I am proud of BTW. It is a simple statement of fact. No apologies forthcoming on that one. Sorry.
Since you raised this subject lets have a show of hands by chiming in as how many here that don't even own a real Shelby Cobra either original or continuation have plates that reflect "1965" or "1966" other wise say "CSX", "Cobra", "Shelby" or any other combination of letters or numbers that leads people to believe it is Shelby Cobra when in actually it is a fake in every respect and merely has a plastic "look a like" shell covering a chassis that is as far removed from a genuine Cobra chassis as the chassis of my go kart when I was a kid. Don't be shy kiddies. Fess up.
BTW did NYGuy ever buy a Cobra kit? Still searching?

In terms of hurling insults, there is one "carveout." And that's NYG. Have at it.
