I just say it's in the World Shelby American Registry so, yes, it's a REAL Shelby Cobra, and don't pay attention to those parts of the car that have the name "Kirkham" on them. Pay them no attention. I'm only using them temporarily until I can source some original parts.
Hello, Evan? Are you out there?
Seriously, I would actually welcome THE question. I don't think anyone has asked me yet. I still get the "What the heck is it?" question (uh, "AustinHealyJaguarViperVette" is my usual answer) or, as I've said previously, the "Is that chrome paint?" question.
Generally, I try not to stop long enough to get any questions.
