What I find more interesting is when a company's replica becomes so good it becomes its own car that, in addition, looks like a Cobra. And as the improvements continue to evolve, that car may then even look less like a Cobra. Sooner or later, it is no longer "a replica."

Default My car passed replica when I started to modifly it

patrickt Pat your car passed this point after you added the double roll bar setup. I have never seen an of the originials with a double setup. Mine stopped when the P/S system, roll cage, race seat, 5 speed clutchless trans, Fuel injection, and 482 cube motor found it's way under the hood. By the way, which half of your A$$ did you loss? Hope you still have the wallet side. Rick L.

I'm slowly working my way up to a "full smartass" designation.

Default You would not catch me paying $2,250,000 for ANY CAR

A-Snake For that kind of money and if I had it, there would be an aluminium P-51 mustang in the back yard. It's alot faster, even more beautiful, and there is something about a MERLIN V12 supercharged that just says it all. The only car that if I had that kind of money would be the 198 car, out of respect for a great human being and a good friend. Couple of years ago I think that Pete was looking to sell the car for about $300,000.00. Rick L.
