Well, I think the taillights are a good giveaway. The West Coast has bullet shaped rear fenders, with rounded tail sections, and the lights are spread far apart. This silver car has flat light sections, like most Cobras that use the dual light setup do, with the lights close together. The trunk is much wider and shaped completely different, the trunk hinges are farther apart, and the filler cap is in a different spot front to back. The rear bumpers are mounted in completely different locations on the body. The grille openings are completely different shaped. The windshield wipers are in a completely different location. The door shape is different.
If you look at the details like I did, you can see it really shares nothing with a West Coast Cobra.
