"Is it real?"

[Jackffr1846]

Come on, you guys. What's all this heated arguement about semantics. When you're parked someplace and a father and young son come walking over, all wide eyed and the father reverently and respectfully asks if it's an original...or real Cobra, or a kit, you know exactly what he's asking. Is this one of the actual, legendary cars that he saw as a kid in the 60s, on some rare occation roaring along the road or race track, or is it not. As proud as I am about my car that I built myself, painted myself, wired myself in my garage, it just ain't old enough to be a real or original one. If you don't want to call it a kit, that's fine. But if it's not over 35 years old, don't kid yourself about what it is.
