Continuation CSX a "Kit car"?

Again the Shelby machine is doing a wonderful job of marketing them as "1965's", but the reality of it all is that they are not. Shelby does make a wonderful recreation of the original, there is no doubt about it, but to call them anything but "recreations" is a slap in the face to all of those who own original "built in the 60's" Cobras.......

SAAC itself call them "authentic" vs. "original".
Do you disagree with SAAC? (Which is made up largely of owners of "original" cars).

I agree 100% that they are authentic Shelby licensed reproductions of the original 60's built versions . Never said they were not authentic Shelby products, just not original Cobras (as built in the 60's). Someone else tell me when the merry-go-round ride stops as I'm starting to get dizzy .

It could stop right there if you like. Nobody said they were original 60s Cobras.

BTW, you guys keep the merry go round going. The thread starter didn't ask if they were "real" Cobras or not.
