I have been following this thread from the beginning and have stayed away from making any comments until now. By the way, it is getting close to 22 pages.
If it were not for SAAC, the Cobra replica producers, and Cobra lovers & owners (most of whom can only afford replicas) probably no one would even know who CS was today. His name has been kept alive by the people that never gave up on the cars SAI built in the mid to late 60s.
In a few years, new Mustangs will just be old Mustangs (whether they have CS written on the side, or not), many of the current Mustang owners will be driving whatever is the hot toy of the day, and Ford will be building what they can sell. However, Cobras will still be Cobras and we will love them as much as ever. Hopefully there will be plenty of 94 octane around so that we will still be able to make lots of noise.
Talk of marrying close relatives did add an interesting twist to this thread.
