Tommy,
I know of a particular PA based CSX4000 series owner (beautiful build) who repeatedly tells people the following:
1: The car was built in 1965
2: Carroll Shelby personally built this car himself, not for himself, but personally built it
3: All others are "nothing but V8 powered"kit cars built on VW chassis's"
Nobody will even bother to correct him, as he is a blowhard, and anyone that spends more than 2 minutes with him realizes it immediately.
Most people see through this particular owners claims, but I'll bet 10% do not.

That guy sounds like a REAL-1 one of a kind.

The owner in question does not live in NJ, but PA.
I've seen Evan at the shows in NJ, he is not who I am speaking of. Evan's car is gorgeous, a true work of art (even though the hood rivets are still done in an incorrect pattern  ). Evan is also a good guy in person, nothing like his online persona, unless of course you are on the other side of the table from him in court

So your car has a round tube frame, correct body vs a new CSX4000/6000 series, and a proper engine compartment and trunk layout?

There are blowhards in almost every segment of society. Cobra ownership isn't immune.
For me, when I take my Kirkham out, I always tell people that my Cobra is an original Cobra and the telltale sign is that replicas are made of fiberglass and originals are made of aluminum. And as an original, my Cobra is listed in the Shelby World Registry.
Simple as that.
Anyway, back to the subject of blowhards.....
