Right thoughts, Evan...wrong facts, though.

COB and COX are indeed AC products and are originals...and are included in the original Cobra tally.

I think what you were trying to say is that SAAC also includes the Mk IV cars and the Autokraft cars in an additional section. This documents the derivatives and keeps track of the aluminum Cobra look-a-likes.

That was the thought process of SAAC in deciding to include the KMP cars. So many have been the platform for the continuation replicas sold by Shelby Autos (and continue to be their source) that it would make sense to track them, like the others.

Plus the history of KMS is interesting in the overall modern-day Cobra story.

And, of course, being in the book doesn't change any KMP DNA...it's still a fake...but, it's a nice honor to have a place in the book.

...right up there with the CSX4000 replicas from Shelby Autos.
