So racing in the SCCA championship events in the USA from 1957 was a Chevrolet V8-engined AC Ace featuring stylish flared bodywork. AC were required to subtly re-design the Ace when it metamorphosed into the Cobra in 1962, but it was hardly a major problem; they had done something very similar some 5 years earlier. Naturally other SCCA racers would have seen this car in action and taken note.
I guess I don't need to take that trip to Pebble Beach after all

I see you guys are keeping this thread rolling.
I thought I kept it simple for one member to understand.
Cobra- 1960's automobile produced by Carroll Shelby's Company.
By that definition a continuation cobra is not a Cobra.
Not sure what a continuation cobra is other than a continuation cobra. Everyone is throwing terms and definitions around...
It's not a reissue because it's not an exact copy.
So it must be a replica of a Cobra...yes a replica of that 1960's automobile by Shelby.

Reissues don't have to be exact. Never seen it anywhere (instruments, watches, cars).
Whoever owns the name Cobra, can call whatever a Cobra.
SAAC had to get involved because of the newly built 'Cobras' (SAI and Autocraft, and Kirkham supplying SAI).
And a replica is an exact copy. Aside form being impossible, there's very few of those. Ever see a Pur Sang?
Aaand, some replicas are just as "original" as .... original 60's Cobras.

Well by my definition Mr. Real One doesn't respect my definition of a Cobra. Doesn't fit into his parameters of what he owns. Hence his comment. Wish he would change his used name to RealContinuationOne. Hate to get into semantics now.

Sir, can I see a picture of your real Shelby Cobra? They are so rare in public. I have never seen a real Cobra in person outside of a museum.
Even at Jay Leno's garage, he told me his Cobra wasn't real.

Be clear on what your definition is. Maybe I'll respect it. If it's the same as SAAC's no problem.

Good night give it a rest already, every word out of your mouth is SAAC this and SAAC that. We know your position, others have theirs. Most don't care what SAAC says.
