Today I meet some folks driving their Unique Cobra for the first time. I felt odd when at first I talked to them and I wanted to know the manufacturer of their car. Sorta made me feel like a "rookie" asking all the dumb questions we all hear. Still, it's a valid question, though it flys in my face against everything I believe to be true of these cars. Point is, somewhere along the line a "Kit Car" transcends kit status and becomes a real car. Or does it really? If we are talking about a 32 glass high-boy completed car (kit) the public in general would not ask if it was a kit car, now would they? But a Cobra? Why is it any different? I know better. But I still ask the same dumb question. And I'm betting that at least some you folks feel awkward asking the same question. Knowing full well there is a full range of what is "complete", from raw kit to trophy cars doesn't help.
Or am I biased against "Kit Cars" too?
