Continuation CSX a "Kit car"?

Goes back to pedigree I reckon. A Vegas assembled car vs a Mexican car vs assembled by a recognized Shelby dealer vs a 'home built'. The lines do get blurred along the way.

Maybe you could call the original 60's Cobra's "factory-built kits", since CS assembled parts and seemed to put in them whatever he had at the moment (427's/ 428's, whatever). A look at the shapes and specs sometimes seems like practically no two were the same...

SAAC calls the 60's cars "original" and the later vehicles "authentic", I believe....
Seems fair.
