Uh, actually it's reality not BS. Whats BS is guys with cars having absolutely nothing in common with a Cobra except it's shape running around referring to their cars as Cobra replicas or even worse as "Cobras.
The fact that "genuine" AC as you refer to them are putting Chevy engines in their cars doesn't change what I said. Assuming they are genuine AC's (which their pedigree seems somewhat cloudy) at least they have something in common with the original car and some connection to it i.e. comparable chassis and some historical connection. So with a Chebby engine it's a Cobra replica gone bad but at least it makes some attempt to replicate the Cobra to some degree although going horribly wrong with it's engine bay mix up.
Yes, I do have a genuine Shelby replica. Damn straight. Websters and the facts establish that clearly. SAAC further makes it's genuiness clear as a Cobra. The current production Shelby Cobras are the only cars that qualify as genuine replicas (Websters) while at the same time being genuine Shelby Cobras. No other car can make that claim. Based on Websters no other car even quailfies as a replica or rises to that level. Its SAAC that raises all others to the level of replica based on the evolved common usage of terms.
Yes, you do have a hot rod with a Cobra shape. Correcto. Thats all it is. Period. No argument here. According to SAAC its a kit or Cobra replica if it has the shape of a Cobra regardless of chassis, brakes driveline or running gear. Just don't exaggerate it and refer to it as a Cobra. Now if your car does not even a scintilla of evidence that it duplicates a Cobra other then shape maybe it doesn't or shouldn't cross over to the Cobra replica category. Jeez...Give us something. So if your chassis is an MG, driveline of a Fiat, brakes of a lawn tractor then Maybe give us correct gauges, switch gear, seat belts, brake resevoirs, alternator, regulator, distributor, overflow tank, puke tank....something that duplicates the original car. If there is NOTHING how does that even enter the relm of being a "replica" even by SAAC's standards?
If your car is a Chevette with Cobra shell is it still a Cobra replica? Would this car still qualify as a "Cobra replica" based on the SAAC definition. Are guys with Spf's with correct running gear, ERA's, Backdrafts, FFR and others that made some effort to have their car at least give some nod to the original OK with a Chevettobra also being a "Cobra replica" viewed equally as qualifying for the same catagory as their car? Hey, I don't realy give a rats pututty. I'm just asking since based on what I own I don't have a dog in that fight.
Cheers.
