The AACA ( Antique Automobile Club of America ) has approved the Shelby Cobra for their new 2008 judging class referred to as SGVC: Second Generation Collector Vehicle. Other manufacturers that assemble their versions " might " also qualify upon submitting to the AACA the required documentation. As noted, for the Shelby Cobra the article in the Shelby magazine was used as documentation, page 46 to 50.

Yes, once 25 years have passed since its construction. That would mean cars built in 1983 or earlier.
You mentioned other cars that may be included such as Glenn-Pray manufactured Auburns, Avanti II, Clenet, Shay built Model A's and Zimmer. These were sold as finish vehicles including engines and met all emission and safety standards of the times. I wonder if AACA understands that the 'new' Shelby Cobra is a component car?

The first of the 4000 series began in 1995 so the first car able for SGVC would be in 2020.
