Well not really. All original Cobra chassis were assigned their number by AC Cars Ltd. not SA. About 10% of the 998 Cobras produced never went to Shelby American. They were completed by AC Cars Ltd, with engines shipped to them by Ford, and sold to countries outside the USA.

And yes, owners of original Cobras accept those 10% as REAL, ORIGINAL, and GENUINE.
