Not true. SAAC does welcome replicas in the club, but they are strictly
classified as replicas. Even AC/Autokraft Mk IVs don't count.
While small-block and big-block Cobras sort of looked alike externally,
their chassis were quite different. Much more closely related were the
Ace 2.6 and the small-block (260 & 289) Cobra. In fact, the very first
Cobra was a modified Ace 2.6. Then there was the AC 289 which had a
coil-spring (427/428) chassis and 289.
