At the risk of sharing my confusion with minds already eager to strain at the knot, did Sheby initiate the 1000 series for the purpsoe of cataloging the 'continuation' vehicles he initially represented as being constructed on frames remaining when AC Cars ceased building Cobras (circa 1968) and before Brian Angliss purchased the right to the AC name and the company's property?

If I recall the controversy correctly, all of the cars in the 1000 series were constructed in America from the ground up. McCluskey built the cars to Shelby's specifications and had no hand in how Shelby presented them on the market. Shelbys representation of the cars as being constructed in 1966 (the supposed date the frames were built by AC) violated the laws of the state of California regarding registration and date of manufacture.
