I'll drink to the above! Well said. The time is fast approaching when all Cobras will undergo the 'new broom' treatment (four new heads and two new handles) due to metal fatigue and countless other factors. The ravages of time will dictate that major components will have to be replaced before the owner finds a plie of ferrous oxide on the floor of his garage. If 'original' cars then appear built around a discarded ashtray, then madness will ensue. A proven, continuous chain of ownership must take precedent. This is how we end up with several race cars that are all the same car.
