Nobody famous.

It's a generic clone.

You don't think there's a problem with this car using a VIN that belongs to a 1969 Torino GT Fastback do you?

Well, that didn't last long... the Club Cobra strikes again! Ha. Wasn't too bad, just a lot of boiler plate marble jumble that wasn't exactly correct.

I saw this car at a show at Lou Bachrodt Chevrolet in Coconut Creek a few months ago. He made a point to come over and tell my son (13 years-old - what a guy picking on a kid) our Backdraft was nothing to his 'real' Cobra. I walked by the car and gave it a once over. It's fiberglass and it's a rag. If he gets $39,000.00 for it, I'm asking $60,000.00 for my BDR.

Maybe not in Florida. Who knows.

Ignorance must be bliss. Could be ignorant of his "reputable-ness" too.

At least he put the tag in the right place. Uh, the real ones did have them glued into the door jamb, didn't they?

Folks are testing the trademark limits again. I wonder how long before the owner of "rights" steps in.

Why doesn't someone "inform" the seller what he's misrepresenting.
