Ok so maybe the new CSX continuation cars have some what of a lineage to the genuine original cars from the 60's made by Shelby American, AC LTD and Ford. But they are still a replica of those cars, sold in kit form(to get around the laws of today).But The Shelby of today is not the company it was in the 60's nothing is from then, not one piece of tooling, not one person and Carroll has left this world. It is just a logo that carries on. So over across the pond AC LTD cars has sold/leased their logo and their intellectual property and new people carry on with AC Heritage and they are making continuation Cobra replicas. (like what happened with Indian motorcycles)they have restarted the COB and COX serial number system and they made a deal with GM for LS-7 engines (yahoo for the Chevy in a GENUINE COBRA guy's) So if a new CSX guys claim they have "something more" because it was made by Shelby, (one of the manufacturers of the real cars from the 60's), do the guy's with a new AC Cobra get to make that same claim??? And does the SAAC have an opinion on this???
