She sure is. Built and first registered in 1979. We have documents confirming its provenance.
You could have a look at this thread:
My new/ old Arntz.
It contains the following:
Nice Find!
Has all of the right signature bits too. ...Triangle Rollbar, correct stitched interior, correct dash, correct Nardi steering wheel, round barrel brass expansion tank, hoop bumpers, split bolt sidepipes... all the right stuff. Don't throw any of those items away - all key items for the car and its history.
If it has the Aldan rear street-rod style coilover shocks in it too, those might be better on a shelf and replaced with some QA1s or something, but otherwise totally cool. Congratulations, neat car!

We corresponded with two fellows in the US who are recognised Arntz/ Butler historians prior to buying the car. They both have no qualms in accepting this as a genuine early production Arntz.
I'm in the process of writing to two of the previous owners to find out more of the car's background. It's rare to have a Cobra of this age in the country so it will be interesting to learn more of her history.
