Real1: "The originals were "kits" based upon your definition?" You're trying a little too hard, don't you think? Is it possible to have a thread not evolve into the "real" vs. "replica" vs. "original" bare-knuckle fist fight?

I didn't mention real vs replica. You did. The thread is about the term "kit" is it not? The responses to this thread have clearly exposed the fact that many have their own view on what constitutes a kit.
Back in the '60s the Shelby Cobra was the equivalent to the Superformance of it's day. Clear parallel. Roller imported plumbed and wired and engine and trans installed and sold to customer. Yes you can argue some minor variances but overall not much. If the Superformance is a kit to some the that puts the original car in that same basket does it not? Therefore, the continuation series rollers too..some here will love that notion
Moreover, back in the 60s it was an oddity with foreign manufactured body and chassis and domestic power plant dropped in by a small race shop in California...
Finally, I'm not looking for a bare knuckle fist fight..... but there are some here still stuck in the third grade that are.
