I don't disagree with your kit car vs. replica distinction, but if one is to replicate everything that the originals had, including an FE in a 427 car and a SBF in a 289 car, then most here are kit car owners. That level of replication just isn't done, many think a stroked BBF under the hood of a 427 (or a 351w in a 289) hits the mark for replica and nothing more need be replicated.

The Shelby/Chevrolet misfire seems to be well documented, I'll let the true historians chime in if they want.

I got caught up in it all, that's why I sold my Cobra.

So were there any Chevy Cobras in the SAAC? Anyone have a CSX number? I've never heard of any, just speculation that Shelby approached Chevrolet. That may be true, but there again, I don't see any reflection of it in the original cars.
