I agree with that statement, BTW, Ron is a SAAC board member.
But that's not my point. Evan, you use absolute terms where there are no absolutes. You hang you hat on the SAAC definition, I don't.
I've been a member of SAAC, continuous and uninterupted, I'm fairly sure, since 1979. I feel I'm reasonably Shelby knowledgeable, I own a registry, no expert by any stretch, I attend auctions, I'm one of those buyers and sellers you speak of as the "general public", and I disagree with you.
I think Mr. Comer is spot on and while I'm sure it will never happen, I bet if you poll the SAAC membership, they would say any Cobra not made in the 1960's (CSX2000's and CSX3000's) is a replica. Pure conjecture, but that's a wager I would take.
There are many factors and forces as to why continuation CSX's and Kirkhams are listed in the SAAC Registry and the definition is the definition.
My objection here is your use of absolutes when there is none, at least to me. SAAC has an expert opinion and they wrote a book, the SAAC Registry, while others like Mr. Comer, have their expert opinions and they write books too.
You can find expert opinions on both sides of an issue, but as an attorney, you already know that.
