In the true sense of the definition was the original considered a Kit car? AC Bristol body, Ford engine and Jaguar brakes or suspension.

Where are the lawyers when you need them.
Basically, Shelby American sold the cars in the 1960's as complete, running vehicles, meeting federal specs, if there were any at that time. Shelby American/Auto's, still an auto manufacturer, cannot sell the cobra as a complete vehicle anylonger due to current federal safety and other standards, and must sell the car as an incomplete package, for someone else to finish and register.
Some people call them replica's, others call them component vehicles, bust most of us call them real.
