Let`s face it. if there were NO replicas, all you`d have is 8 or 900 Cobra`s selling for 10 times what they do now...if anyone ever sold one, and they`d ALL be safe in museums.
No. The replicas didn`t make a legend, they feed those hungry for the legend,they make accessible that legend(in whatever form, from fully authentic Kirkham-esque levels down to those bearing only the fleetingest of resemblances.), and,as we see, they do not prevent the legend from perpetuating itself!
