Thumbs up

No surprise here that some (alot?) of the 60's era Cobras have new bodies from various sources. It would be extra cool to have/see an original condition Cobra from that era. But like ANY "old car" original condition is extremely rare.

An 60's era Cobra with a Kimmons body (or whatever) is still a way cool car and I would still consider it right up there with the best examples of "original" cars.

Take a restore TO FAR and yeah, the lineage does start to get "complicated". I PREFER the look of some of the old "race Cobras" as they were back in the day! Some dents, hacked up fenders, and looking kind of gnarly. Looking "real"! It IS possible to over restore!
