BTW, I'm not on an Evan kick. I don't agree with him in the fact that continuation Cobras (or Kirkhams) are the real thing. However, I think if your goal is to make a replica, you don't start off with a Viper V-10.

You seem to me to be on an "Evan kick." Just tangentially. He wanted to define a Shelby CSX4000 as something other than replica. A real authentic Shelby Cobra. You're trying to define what is or isn't a Cobra replica. In his honor, I'll borrow one of Evan's favorite expressions. "It's all in the Registry."

Page 30 and I quote, "Kit Car OR Replica. Any car with a body which approximates the original Cobra shape, using ANY kind of frame, suspension, brakes and drivetrain."

Thor has a Cobra replica and he has a Chevy engine. Jeff McCabe, one of our NorCal members has an electric engine, he has a Cobra replica. Replicas are replicas. If someone wants to use a dune buggy with a Cobra body, then it's still a Cobra replica.

Notwithstanding SAAC's definition, everyone here can have an opinion of what is or isn't a replica. No worries.
