The bodies and chassis all have their own suble, and noticable differences. There is no identifiation guide for replicas out there that I know of. The more you pay attention to the little details on these cars, and the more cobras you look at, the differences will become more clear. It's nice when you're looking under the hood of a yet identifed replica when the owner walks up and you can ask who's chassis it is. One of the more noticable differences I picked up on early in my cobra years was the layout of the inner fender panels. But you'll figure it out soon enough, west coast cobras are really wide, La exotics/ B&B have a low hanging gas tank, SPF's have a pointy front end, Classic roadsters have a unique door to body line, Butler's have the engine really far back, these are the little notes you'll file away in your head.
