Sorry guys. If the issue of orignality is to be contended, try taking your CSX 4000 or Kirkham to the Pebble Beach Concours or the next vintage car race at Laguna Seca and tell the people at the gate your car is original.
They will politely show you where the general parking lot is.
Of course, those cars are a lot more "original" than my So. African plastic car!

SAAC defines:

CSX 2000 etc. cars as "original";

CSX 4000 etc. cars as "authentic".

When CS and/or SAI go under, my guess is that both original and authentic will go up, but original will go up more. Maybe not. 1957 Testarossa's went up, but 1980 328's didn't go up much, and only temporarily. But, a 328 is not a very desirable car. Not very fast compared to current standards (Cobras still are), and not too attractive a shape (Cobras are). Just a guess (and a hope).
