As for the SAAC, nothing more than a special interest rag sold to its' members to make money. The "mission", cater to the broadest membership base they can get, more members = more money. People pay to drink the kool aid, no better example than you who lives and breathes on every word that rag has to say.
Every so often, a legal dispute on the classification of these cars makes its' way to the courts and it is there that clarity is provided and decisions are handed down. You my friend own a kit car just like the majority of cobra enthusiasts do, that is the legal decision of the court by three judges who have no vested interest or bias in the decision - deal with it.
As a footnote, the SAAC Registry follows the loosest standards of any publication dedicated to the preservation of specific automobile history. If you can show the right series CSX number on your frame then the Registry says you have an original. The entire remainder of the car can be a kluge of parts gotten from God knows where, but if you have that CSX number you're in. Trying pulling that BS with any other historical car and you will be laughed out of town as a real idiot who thought he had "an original".
It's too bad, the SAAC could have done it right like everybody else with stringent standards to get into the Registry, but money and greed took over to create a club publication that is worthless in the eyes of true automotive historians.

Back to calling names?
I'll let history, facts and my statements on the other thread speak for themselves and those who know history and the facts can draw their own conclusions. LMH and I actually reached a consensus in the end. Perhaps you missed that? Still stuck on trying to give the Brits the lions share of the credit I see. Carry on.
You again display your ignorance of the Shelby court decisions and the issues and holdings and findings.
You don't seem to be able to grasp your folly. The issues and decisions handed down don't say or hold what you mistakenly think they say. I would help you but you don't deserve help so I'll just let you wander around lost in your mistaken notion endlessly embarrassing yourself.
It does provide entertainment.
As for SAAC, I'll let them defend themselves should they choose to do so, however, if you could help us here. Please point us to another more recognized authoritative organization on the subject of Shelby Cobras? Please point us to another publication that does what the World Registry does and is viewed as a more authoritative text.
Dealing briefly and specifically with your statements about SAAC's "loose standards" and what they do and what they consider an "original" car I am now trying to figure out whether your issue is ignorance or beyond ignorance. You obviously don't own a World Registry or haven't read it or lack to the ability to grasp whats in there. Lets just politely say your statements about SAAC and the Registry are as skewed as your little effort to hand the majority of the credit to AC for the genesis, development and existence of the Cobra. You Brits taxed us without representation, got your asses kicked by a fledgling army, came back in 1812 burned our White House and got your arses kicked again, yet we broke the stalemate for you in WWI, saved your asses in WWII but you guys still can't give the proper credit due to an American who developed a car from a company who was as busy making invalid coaches and wheel chairs as they were cars into a Ferrari beater on the world stage? You have to try and steal the lion's share of the credit for the Shelby Cobra too. That's just not cricket.
Say didn't you guys have to get permission from Shelby to use that silly "Cobra" name name on that COB version of what he had developed for you for your AC "Cobra"? Yeah, I think so.
Ouch again. Why didn't you guys just call the Euro version the "AC Super Ace" or something else instead of having to deal with that cranky Texan?
