Bill has laid it "on the line" for you - this car is not recognized by most true Cobra collectors to be an "original" 427 S/C, it is a "continuation" car. All of the originals were built in the sixties - the rest of them since then, whether Carroll Shelby, Shelby American Inc., Brian Angliss, or AC Cars had any part in it, are "replicas" in one form or another. Bill's estimate of value is right-on also, on a good day, it might be worth about one-half of what an original would go for.

Best bets for selling would be to be up-front with the history like Bill suggested, and try the SAAC newsletter, clubcobra and CobraCountry classifieds, and maybe Hemmings or The Robb Report.

Good luck selling the car!

regards,

Jeff
