Brand-New Reproduction Classic Mustang

not every reproduction is a continuation car...
continuations should be made by the original manufacturer to original specifications

You mean like Kirkham builds Cobras for Shelby? Now we're just talking about financial arrangements and paperwork. That's just semantics.

They're all "copies" with significant changes since 1965 +/-.

No, Revology has a license. SPF GT40 have a license from Safir. And SPF builds continuations. Just paperwork, marketing, financial arrangements, lawyers and semantics.

"Continuation" is just another word for copy, clone, reproduction, etc. it's all the same S. The buyers of any "continuation" are just paying premium for name, paperwork, plaque, marketing costs, etc. Whoever actually builds the continuation is meaningless. It's not 1965-1966.

continuation car is a term of general linguistic usage, you can call it semantics or anything else, but lets talk about semantics...
in my opinion the continuation cobras should be called "shelby kirkham cobra" as the originals were called "shelby ac cobra"

Ferrari is dead....Porsche is dead....the Ferrari you buy today is a Ferrari, just as a Porsche is a Porsche.....the Shelby Cobra you buy today is not a original, but it is a Shelby Cobra...if you want to call it a "continuation" car that is fine.

There is more than a semantical difference between a replica and a continuation car...Like everything., the value is what someone is willing to pay for it

To you maybe, but certainly not to me. Just semantics.

"Continuation" is just another euphemism or marketing ploy gimmick for "replica" or "reproduction." And the old SAAC Registry tells the story of the how and why the various moniker(s) came into existence.

But whatever floats everyone's boats. Call it whatever you want, just don't call it "surely" or "Shirley."
