Shelby American uses a number of sources for fabricators for their bodies and chassis built to their spec. AC was a supplier in the 60s. Kirkham and Hightech today. The fiberglass Cobra bodies and chassis High-tech builds for Shelby to SAI spec are in a completely different orbit than your SPF replica. High-tech takes pride in the fact they were chosen to fabricate fiberglass Cobras for Shelby. Both Shelby and High-tech make clear that the cars they fabricate for Shelby are Cobras and the SPF replica they make like your car is a licensed "replica" of a Cobra but it is not a Cobra. The Registry is clear on this too. Btw this answers your original question too.
Hopes this helps.
