Well I, for one, am very uncomfortable with wild speculation on something that might possibly could of happened based on no facts, when it could negatively impact on the reputation of a great company.

I work with a guy who is a 911 truther, believes we never went to the moon, the earth is flat, commercial planes are spraying chem trails, and every other wild conspiracy on the net. I recognize some of his thought processes in this thread.

Well maybe that was unfair, but since anyone who has certain views are not welcome in this thread, what the hell.....

So let me try to add something to be helpful. Plenty or replicas of various makes have been wrecked over the years. It is possible that this is a Frankenstein Cobra. The body may be salvaged parts from two, three, perhaps four different wrecks. Perhaps the Big Nose is off of manufacture "A" and has been welded to manufacture "B" front fenders. Possibly the midsection and rear came from other manufactures or a mixture of "A" and "B". Obviously the frame could be other parts that have been welded together, same as the body.

This would explain why there are no real numbers anywhere. They just happened, or perhaps on purpose, used parts that didn't have any numbers stamped in. I'm sure Doctor Frankenstein would have never used a body part that had a tattoo, as someone may have recognized dad's arm on the monster.

Edit:
It just dawned on me. If you use the VIN# out of a salvage, you can never hide the salvage title and that will kill about 40% of the value. You would not want to have anything that would trace to a salved car, so you would make certain that it was untraceable.
