They then sell it in the seventies to somebody who shortens the frame (frame too long? prototype for the lenghtened coil over frame that became the Frua bodied AC428?)
Then in the 80's it gets a Brian Angliss body off the old AC bucks, is switched to Left hand drive and given a side oiler (most of the COB cars where delivered as small blocks) and a toploader.
Is this a "real" cobra? It was displayed with the originals, kit cars way far away.
I've got a headache.

If you are talking about COB6128 through COB6132, no these are NOT included in the count for original Cobras. These 5 chassis were 'created' for Paramount Film Service, Ltd. for use in a film "Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies"
