When people ask is it real/original? I just say "what do you think?" or "I can't afford an original" and just laugh

At a cruise nite I was parked (65 Fastback GT-350 replica/clone/tribute) next to a nice white/blue striped FFR, just to avoid all the usual BS and mess with the folks he and I began answering question # 1, saying, "I'm not sure , look it over and you tell me"..........

About 90% said: "it could be".......... most folks can't tell the difference without seeing the CSX tag........ I know with certain makes, I can't from 20 feet...............

I was at a good sized (750+) local car show a couple of years ago where there were a total of 5 Cobras being shown. All the others with the exception of mine (289 body) were 427 Body style. I was parked next to a very nice one with a 428 and the others scattered throughout the show had 302 varients. All were very nice cars. A fellow looked at the car next to me and then approached mine from one side and looked at my engine and then at me and asked if it was mine. I acknowleged. He then caught me off gaurd, he said "Thanks for bringing out a real 289 it's great to see a 289 after loooking at all of the "other ones" . I just snickered to myself as he walked away???????
