I guess they would be real AC's. Original? Thats a stretch.

There is no CSX vin nor are they legally "Cobras" Maybe they could use the COB vin # or COX vin #'s.

Interesting if SAAC will recognize them for listing in the registry.

Hmmm.

Very interesting.

All in all they probably use the original bucks with better grade aluminum than originals. They probably use the same jigs for the chasis. That really nice!

Question is since production of the original series stopped years ago are they also "replicas" of the originals.

Both the CSX and the AC will no doubt be identical. One coming from the Company that brought the Cobra to life the other from the company that physically built the car for the originator as to the 2000 series and who was subcontracted to build the 3000 series to Shelby's specs.

Would one rather have a Shelby Cobra or an AC 427 for the money. Very interesting.

I'd rather have the Shelby but I'm sure some would opt for the AC. Both have their pluses.
