Why do you identify your car as a 60's model?

[750hp]

I'm intrigued to know what the reason is for so many Cobra owners identifying their recently built cars as a "1966 Cobra" or similar.

I understand the titling registration savings and relaxed pollution requirements in some states, and that it might be a quick and easy way for the uninitiated to understand that it's some type of '60s sports car, but why else do you tell people / advertise it as a '65, '66 etc?

For someone looking here on the Club Cobra (or the Cobra Country) classifieds to buy a car, we could generally assume that they've already done some homework. What's the value therefore in advertising any year model other than when the car was completed?

As an example, there is a 65, a 66, and two 67 year models listed on the first page of the CC classifieds.

Not judging (and certainly not implying any fraudulent intent), just intrigued...
