Well, maybe we can steer the conversation to "What's your favorite Cobra color?" And I'm sure there will be ONLY ONE (1) VOTE for Desert Storm Camo Hummer Beige.

Didn't 'ol Carroll himself say that "427" was the model name, not the engine type or displacement?
Or are we gonna argue over what he meant?

That's the way I see it too. He put a "benchmark" name on the car, but did lots of other things depending on circumstances at the time.

I think CS rarely get the facts get in the way of a good sales pitch. He should have run for elected office.

"It's all in the Registry."

Well, thank goodness he chose 427 Cobra and not 428 Cobra.

He's back. Now there's a man of his word.

I certainly hope you didn't waste a lot of time on finding that listing.

Actually, you're so confused now that you've lost your original point, which was what defines a kit car versus a replica:

A. "state of assembly" (i.e., "If it's in boxes....."), or
B. engine manufacturer (only Ford engines) need apply (e.g., no Viper V10's).

My answer, "It's all in the Registry."

If you believe that listing you posted approximates the shape of an original Cobra, then I feel sorry for you.
