CSX3026 which is the real cobra

[Curator]

In a Club, like this, one has to ask oneself..,,,at what point does someone that wants to build the Perfect Replicar, honoring an iconic Supercar like the Cobra, STOP? This 1989 ERA fiberglass Replica was never marketed for sale or sold as anything but what it WAS and IS! (w/the required, original "ERA" VIN Plate IS in place with matching title, and by law, neither have ever been altered!). If the replica Cobra Chassis plates were not to be used: Tony Branda (since 1975), Finishline, eBay merchants and a 1/2 dozen other sources would not have been selling them Worldwide for the last 25+ years. To suggest one of the past owners of this great car, or myself, would try and fraudulently sell any REPLICAR as anything other, then what it is...IS ludicrous and just a cheap shot. Since many of us couldn't afford an original, one would suppose ALL the charm to building any knock-off would be: 'How Close You Could Make It Look Exact To The Original'? I would imagine Mr. Shelby or Mr. Boosalis would probably be honored by these Dedications.

ALL of the cars shown in our Museum have Showcards, Window Stickers or original brochures on them that help tell 'the dejavu story' of these great classics (orig.cost/color /equipment, how many made; etc). It is, after all, a fun Car Museum. This car was so beautifully done and recvd. so much attention we kept it on display for over 15 years, only to finally offer it for sale in the past few months (for the critics: what do you do when you really DON'T want to sell?- price it high).
~This 'event' reported by Mr.Wullf (CobraDan) is a travesty ~
PS. The Gray AC MKIV small block is 'real' and the gorgeous 1969 Camaro RS Z28 was a real Crossram JL-8 that recently sold to a Camaro 'expert'.
Happy Motoring...come see us sometime. Kerry
