Any car owner on this site is close enough to the facts to understand the statements ("it's a 1965 Shelby Cobra") or (" it's a Series x,x,or X Shelby Cobra") or ("it's a Continuation Shelby Cobra") or it's a cobra and put that info anywhere in their own minds eye.

The Real confusion I think is the guy or gal at a filling station looking at any of the above cars and asking the owner if it's a real Cobra. I do not think most of these folks can get it straight in their own mind what the differences are without help from that owner.
They are all going to be in aw of this sexy car and tell all of their friends that they saw a 65 Shelby Cobra. They will be blown away by this cool car, regardless of the true/real or properly described car that they saw.
