nikbj68/Blue Rooster: What you say is true, however, the fact remains that the Cobra was a legend in its own time and would have been an automotive legend with or without the replicas. Period. Why do you think the car was replicated?
The replica industry did add to the visability of the car and help to perpetuate its tremendous automotive presence in the public eye and did make owning a car replicating a Cobra a reality. No argument on these points. I also agree that CC would probably not exist if not for replicas.
I also agree with the statement that my car wouldn't exist if not for the replica industry.
My point was a simple one.
Also, most (not all) originals don't see the light of day that often anyway especially the 427s. As to their value if there were no replicas I can't begin to speculate.
