Default In answer to the original question...

am not in any position to buy a Cobra replica yet but if I were, I'd still think about getting it in the garage while the Good Ship america is heading into recession because by the time we as a country get out of this mess, the ecogreenies might have found a way to outlaw replica/kit cars though those already licensed will probably be
"grandfathered in." (though in California legislators are talking about eliminating the exemptionf or smog testing on older cars).

So what I am talking about is , as time goes on, the eco-weenies will try to eliminate any large engine-powered thing that's fun and I still want a Cobra of one sort or another to blast up that 5,000 ft. mountain that I can see from my front door...

Also bear in mind the sheer genius of those guys who went out and bought used 427 big block Cobras (real ones) around 1973 when we were all in line
for gas because of the OPEC oil embargo. While the worried were thinking we'd never have gas again, the smart guys bought Cobras for ten grand that are now worth fifty times more. They were looking at the big picture...
