Anyway, its akin to COB and COX being included vis a vis the originals. AC supplied the rollers then and had the right to use the name "Cobra" in the old days.

There a definite justification and analogy based on the past. Whats fair is fair.

No issue here.

On the down side for you Kirkham owners, hate to burst bubbles here, there is no concomitant statement from SAAC that Kirkhams are also considered "genuine Cobras" and based on their previous statements I don't see them doing so. The only cars considered genuine/real cobras are still the original CSXs Continuation CSXs, COX, and COB series cars. Sorry, they said it not me.

Using this logic then what about SPF building CSX's including the fiberglass bodies?

My opinion is that the Kirkham should not be in the registry. I can see the AC cars being there because they were the suppliers of the original rollers but I think you are opening up the registry now to anybody that has supplied parts to Shelby in the making of the CSX's. My.02
