I think that was the case. The cars, as descibed by Shelby, and not by SAAC.

The word "continuation" sounds alot better than "component". Shelby came out with the CSX30xx cars, I guess thinking they would sell, but they didn't. Boy did I drool over one of those, but $500,000 big ones? I settled for a "component" car, that's what they called at that time

The "component" cars obviously were the larger market, and "continuation" sounds alot better that "component", so I believe the names were changed, to enhance the image.
