Even the next generation of the CSX3000 series cars, called "Competition Series" (and I call the "Resurrection Series"), which will use nearly all OEM and some reproduction parts, along with Fran Kress' (not OEM Halibrand) magnesium wheels, are copies of the genuine 998. The 6 LW Jaguars are just copies of the 1960's series. The debate will rage on forever. |

Personally, I think he was duped by the master when he originally bought his replica into thinking his car would forever be labeled as an original. And when he found out his "original" was subsequently reclassified as a "continuation", he couldn't bring himself to admit he had consumed the kool aid. |

Is Component Cobra listed anywhere on the MSO, or is there any indication that what was purchased was an incomplete car? |

If so, I think you and I are good. |

Just scanned the last couple of pages as I enjoy suffering. Two points: Tis true that replicas/fakes/clones etc are common at the Revival and we ain't just talking Cobras! Plus the new-build E-types use bodywork and engines made by outside contractors and were assembled at Jaguar. On my planet, this makes them even less 'original' - even Lord March takes the line that they will not be receiving invites to race at the Revival as "we do not permit replicas"!! Such fun.....
Now - back to the twilight zone Ned - 6107 is still racking up the miles as a near-daily driver. I bumped into car & owner at Hawk Cars recently and the battery decided to die. I guess if your 289 Sports fails, it did it at the right place. Great timing. :) |

"CSX6000 SERIES COMPONENT VEHICLE" is written 2x on the MSO. |

"STATEMENT OF ORIGIN FOR A CSX4000 SERIES COMPONENT VEHICLE" Trade Name: Shelby Cobra 427 Series: CSX4000 Model Year: 1965 "The CSX4000 Series Component Vehicle is sold by Shelby American, Inc. without engine or transmission" http://images.forum-auto.com/mesimag...116/MSOCCF.jpg The point is obvious, if you are going to quote your MSO then quote it, you own a CSX4000 Series or CSX6000 Series Component Vehicle. |

What's funny to me is the 1965 model year and the story in the Registry when CS was questioned about it by authorities, he answered that "1965" represented the model number. If that story is true, then that tells you a little about the man, the myth, the legend. |

I'm looking at my Kirkham "Certificate of Origin" and I don't get it. My CO states that I bought a new "1965 Replica Roadster." No where does it say "Cobra" and then it has that word "replica" in its description.
I'm confused. How come my Kirkham "1965 Replica Roadster" is listed as a Kirkham Cobra in the SAAC World Registry. The SAAC World Registry contains replicas? Really? :confused::) And nearly every alloy CSX 4000/6000 built has, at a minimum, a Kirkham "1965 Replica Roadster" body and chassis and, in the case of the CSX 50th Anniversary models, the "whole kit (pun intended) and caboodle" is Kirkham. Huh. :rolleyes: |

I actually think this entire thread is about the wrong question. We should be discussing this one.
Why do owners of cars not built by Shelby Anerican refer to their cars as Cobras? I see it all the time here. I see it at car shows where owners fill out the information card identifying their car as a Cobra. Very rarely do I see the word "replica" in those cases. Some owners even have audicity to use the word "Shelby." |
