Well not everyone can have an original. But those with originals certainly have special cars because of their rarity, originality and value.

Those with originals also have an axe to grind in making sure no other cars are recognized as REAL. The values of originals haven't faired so well over the past several years.

While no Continuation series will have the value or the collectibility of the Daytona Coupe Pedro Rodgriguez drove or any original, at least in the forseeable future or ever it clearly they clearly are REAL Cobras and in this crowd will constantly be torn down by those who have their own axe to grind whether to perserve the exclusivtivity of their "original" or to feel better about what they have cause its not a Cobra.

Johan: I don't go to vintage car events except for an occassional SAAC event. Not that interested. More interested in spending time with my family than taking photos of million dollar museum pieces. Been there done that.

You make it sound like I'm elevating the Continuation Series to the collectibility level of the Pedro Rodriguez Daytona or that I would walk around Pebble Beach Concours pretending my car is in the same league as the cars there. You do so to get laughs at my expense and in my opinoin make yourself out to be a jerk by totally distorting what I'm saying.

Of course everytime this subject comes up what I say is always totally distorted by others and I am attacked.

Oh, BTW I'm sure you know that your car would have more value and collectibility if it was a Shelby.
