"I'd rather drive a '66 Corvair or a Gremlin or a Pacer...ugh"
Thats OK, The Lister is still part of history only earlier than the Cobra and will still seriously kick ass on most cars on the road today or then. Just something to consider. It is unique and there will not be a poorly made FFR or whatever looking just like it when I drive to the market or to the racetrack.
Besides I like the lines of the car and we won't even go into the performance issues, not really, there are cars out there for everyone and when you are fighting over insurance and registration issues with your Cobra, I'll just slip under the radar... it is afterall a 1958 Corvette, well sort of...
"To each their own..." Thank God!
