Good point on the celebrity endorsement. I might start another thread on "Paul Newman's Salad Dressing: Real or Replica?" Boy, won't that one get inflammatory quickly!

The guy makes some great cookies, too. I tasted some last night. Tasted real to me.

On Classic Motorsports, yeah, they look at eclectic cars, but isn't that part of what this interest is all about? The Brock Datsun Baja 240Z article in the same issue is pretty cool to read. I haven't read the restoration story yet, but I'm getting some interesting history of the car.

Comparing a 335 hp 428-powered original Cobra vs. a 550 hp stroked-351W in an SPF is not a fair comparison. There are other, more gnarly originals out there, but they are a small magazine and probably went with the best connections they had for the comparison. Nevertheless, it was an entertaining read.
