I'd rather hear, "it's a replica of a 33 ford". Why is that so confusing? After that information is gained, you can, as a "civilian", begin asking more questions like who built it, when did you built it, what chassis it's based off of, etc.
I guess that I just don't understand the reluctance of Replica/Kit/component/whatever you want to call it owners to call their car what it is. (And now we have come full circle once again).
It's odd...on other forums, a couple of people will post pictures of their replica's and say what they are "Superformance Cobra", "backdraft Cobra", "FFR", then someone comes along and says, "1965 Shelby Cobra" and even more ohhhhhhhhhhs and ahhhhhhhhhhs are gained because it's....(not really) the real thing. It's just disingenuous and misleading in my personal opinion. As much as you want to believe you have the real thing...you don't (well the lucky few do, but that's not who we are talking about....not sure they are even allowed to post in this thread!). It's a forum...plenty of time to type a few extra words for clarity purpose.

The most correct answer in my oppinion is; "I could not afford a real one so I built this car over "X" years." "It was finished in ****." "I built the car with the help of my friends."

I say "It's registered as a 1966 Ford".
Cheers!

I could afford one, but I wouldn't have anything else, so I'd have to live in it, but I live in WA which would make it very uncomfortable (i.e. wet) living in a car which had no top or windows. Believe me, I have thought this thing through.

" I have no idea, it's my moms car".
Coming from a 58 year old man with a straight face eliminates any further questions.

Standard answer (which has probably been posted already) should be,
It's a replica of a mid 60's Cobra built in " insert year here". Anthing other than that is total BS and a flat out LIE.

You can skip the part of beeing paranoid - Snowden just showed us that US Goverment is in fact watching us - even us Europeans 
Funny world: Snowden expose criminals spying on us Europeans - but the same criminals wants him in jail... hmm... maybe we should ask for the criminals to be brought to justice here in Europe.
