How to deal with questions/comments where the answer is....well....you know...

For # 1 I used to tell them it isn't an original Cobra but it is a real car . I think 90% of the people asking Is it real mean is it an original.

For # 2 I only had one carb so I never got asked that question. I did have a 427 tunnel port in a car in the 60s that had 2 huge Hollys on it and a woman asked me why I had two on it and I jokingly toldher it doubled the gas mileage.A few minutes later her husband was over at my car asking me why I told his wife that as she was now demanding that he have two put on their car. I explained to him that I was just joking and never thought she would believe that and everything was ok.

For # 3 I always used whatever badges were the same as the engine I had in the car. Not correct I know but nothing about my car was correct to the originals.

Foe # 4 After answering the first 3 I don't remember ever being asked that but once and a woman once asked me if that was the same kind of car that James Dean was killed in.

I always wondered where the term kit car came from.I could see it if when the parts were dropped at the front door you just bolt everything together. Mine was far from that easy.By no means a kit in my eyes.No biggy could not be happier with end result.People can ask or say whatever,bottom line is my name is on the title and registration.

Keith Craft is building the engine for my Superformance right now. When someone asks me if it’s “real”. My response will be….it’s real……….fast.
