Personally, I'd rather have a 1993 Cobra R, but I think there could be alot of fans of those mid-90's early 00's Mustangs. Though I'm not one.
Ok I'll play...

How many of us buy the cobra replica because of the actual car itself vs those who buy it for the project and build?

The reason I pose this question is because I think it would separate those who are in it for the car itself, vs those who probably aren't purists paying homage to car, but are perhaps car hobbyist in pursuit of the "build". A cobra bodied car/hotrod is relatively cheap, accessible, do able, and just happens to have a connection to something that costs a fortune, so it makes it somewhat more appealing to do than a 32 ratrod?

Just my cheap seat analysis...
I'd be keen to hear others...
