Bottom line it is a real Cobra something that absolutely no
"correct" replica will never be, that's why.

The silliest thing at any car show are replica owners arguing over which replica is more correct. Why oh why???

BTW, you got the wrong engine in your replica.
"Modified" doesn't begin to describe what this car is. It is now replica of 1964 competition car that bears absolutely no resemblance to what it looked like before the so-called restoration: I've seen pictures of it. It would have certainly been possible to duplicate this car from its unmolested days. Then it could very easily, and fairly, be called correct.

As for my car's engine, I love everything about it. And it is a thousand times more "correct" than what is in that car.
