Chevy in a Cobra

[REAL 1]

Oh. I forgot. This is CC. I have to respect the opinion of others regardless of the lack of respect for my opinion and what continuation owners own. Of course please forgive me.

Can anyone ID a continuation Cobra with a Chevy engine? I need the CSX number.

Onyxrider your post make absolutely no sense. I don't own a Cobra? And gee your not even sure its a replica now either. Really?. Ok. Whatever you say. I won't even waste any time with that one. All Ill say invest in a Registry. Next.

Itbites: I agree with a lot of what you said. Things have evolved in the last 20 years and SAACs definition cover it.

Al: Where does SAAC define the drive train for an original Cobra? They tell us what they came with originally but you can have an original Cobra with a new engine in it or even a Chevy in it if the owner was nuts enough to put one in and it would still be an original Cobra. It may not have the original or correct motor but its still a Cobra. Moreover, the original Cobras came in as rollers to if I recall with drive train and engine and options installed and could be painted to color and even customized per customer request. Hmmm, sounds erily similar to Continuation Cobras.

What you are losing sight of is that I don't need nor does any current production owner need a point system for accuracy devised by you or anyone else here vis a vis any original. They stand on their own as a genuine Cobra just as would an original with any drive train modification or change. Just another effort to drag the current production Cobras into the "Replica /kit"car pool. Sorry not interested in playing that game nor likely is any other continuation owner.

It's you guys that do not like SAACs definitions So knock yourselves out and create your own definitions that are to your liking. I'll stick with the registry's definition.
thank you very much for the invite though.

I'll defer to those who actually own an "original" to weigh in on this most profound interpretation

Who needs owners of originals to weigh in? Maybe you do but I certainly don't. Who imbued them with a magic aura of knowledge based on mere ownership alone. History gives us what we need to know. The Registry contains the combined knowledge of many who not only own originals but many others who own other related cars and all who have been devoted to thes cars and the history and evolving history for decades. History never stands still. It adds to itself with each passing minute.

The best and most authoritative history book and definitional tool/dictionary is right there for you to use yet many here despite either belonging to SAAC and/or having shelled out the coin for a Registry brush it aside out of (a) sour grapes (b) there own personal opinion differs as to one particular category of definition while happily accepting the part that suit them or (c) they just don't and will never get it.

So have at your new "CC" definitions. A group that defaults back to Charlie ( got the spelling this time) Brown to try and drive home a point counter to one supporting the World Registry will gain a huge following.
