By that definition a continuation cobra is not a Cobra.

Not sure what a continuation cobra is other than a continuation cobra. Everyone is throwing terms and definitions around...

It's not a reissue because it's not an exact copy.

So it must be a replica of a Cobra...yes a replica of that 1960's automobile by Shelby.
Reissues don't have to be exact. Never seen it anywhere (instruments, watches, cars).
Whoever owns the name Cobra, can call whatever a Cobra.
SAAC had to get involved because of the newly built 'Cobras' (SAI and Autocraft, and Kirkham supplying SAI).
And a replica is an exact copy. Aside form being impossible, there's very few of those. Ever see a Pur Sang?
Aaand, some replicas are just as "original" as .... original 60's Cobras.
