Why does every thread here devolve into a "Real" vs. "Replica" argument?

Those reading this are free to a argee with you. That's fine but if they want to know what the World Registry says I would urge them to read it for themselves unless they are content with the skewed versions of it from you. I could quote chapter and verse here and it would make 0 difference.

Hey if SAAC wants to dump the Continuation Shelbys from the World Registry that's up to them. They certainly won't need to have a Registar for them any more. They can toss all that info in the garbage. If they don't want to bother keeping track of the second gen Shelbys that's no skin off my nose or likely any other Continuation owner's nose. Moreover if they decided they no longer were going recognize the Continuation Shelbys as they should be I.e. True Shelby Cobras my bet would be their owners would lose any interest in providing them any information on their cars or membership. Last SAAC convention saw maybe 10 original cars and didn't seem that well attended. Seems they would want to be attracting new members and growing interest not alienating it. But hey, that's their business.

Yeah SAAC could decide just to keep track of the originals and exclude the second gen Shelby Cobra and let Shelby keep track of the "Continuation Cobras." Shelby Americans view of it for sure. They should then change there name to TOOSAAC (The Original Only Shelby Amer. club).

As far as Kirkhams are concern I gave you my view of it and the Registrys. In the end I don't own a Kirkham. You do. Couldn't care less what SAAC does with them and you are free to see you car as the largest fake pos on the planet. matters not one wit to me.

As far as how California or any state claaaifys any of these cars is completely valueless to the issue.

Even the newbie ASO544 stated it simply and correctly unlike the detractors here. Even he gets it.

Evan there aren't any half truths in what I say. You say that garbage to save face. I quote directly from a page in the Registry. Just the whole truth from me. You keep saying Registry this and Registry that but you quote nothing. And define nothing. You just say "See the Registry." That's just plain BS. I quote the Registry nearly verbatim. So quit telling everyone here your half truths.

Bottom line is that it's 30-50 years later, your Shelby is being reproduced with different parts by a different company. You own a genuine replica of a Shelby. Even the SAAC Cobra Registrar agrees as do many many others within SAAC.
