I personally don't mind being asked questions about my car, however I don't like been asked what I paid for it. That is one question that I would not answer. I guess when I don't answer that question I can be persceived as a jerk.
It is a replica also can be considered as an ORIGINAL Backdraft.

That is really too bad. All the original car owners we know are really nice. Several of them have even bought cars from us.

I actually bought one of these engines. Story was a '68 GT500KR had a blown motor (short Block), and was replaced with a 427 short block, keeping the 428 CJ heads, intake, and carb. So, this engine was really a 427 CJ.
I now need to put the date matching heads/intake on ebay for sale when I get a chance.

Dave, you are in a unique position.  Plus you come across as a nice person.
There are always jerks. We all have something that we find to be..."unacceptable".
I think in this case the person was as described -- a SNOB.
His loss.

About a year ago, at a car show, I was mildly chastised by an owner of an original Cobra. Seemed he did not like replica owners putting cobra badges on their cars (however, my SPF has no cobra badges). Not sure why that put his knickers in a twist, but it did.

Up here in Redding every year they have a combination car show and it is called the Ducky Derby because you buy a rubber duck for $2 and they haul them a couple of miles up the river and dump them in. Whoever's duck floats through the gate first wins and normally the 1st place is a new car. Anyway since all the proceeds go for charity I entered my beat up Cobra a few years ago. One woman, I later learned that she was the wife of a guy that I knew slightly, came by and spent 10 minutes calling me names and telling me that they should not allow those plastic piles pf Sh** in a car show. I walked over to see their car and low and behold it was a KIT 32 Ford, fiberglass body and all. All I asked her was if that 350 Chevy engine came in the car and left. I never say anything bad about anyone's car no matter what I may think of it. I just figure they built it to please them and not me.

I have only one thing to say, "Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain---and most fools do!"
It's all about money and stupidity...have fun, Bill

A$$holes are a part of our world. No matter what they drive, what they wear, or where they live, they just cannot keep from telling themselves they are better than someone else. I really don't think it's about money, just very insecure people trying to climb up and be recognized. They will usually never respect themselves, in my opinion.

Funny thing, FFRCobraMike...read your entire response to Ron, and nowhere do I see one word of explanation of why you didn't explain in this thread that the car was a Bristol AC and not an original Cobra.
Hell, some REALLY REAL AC folks hate ALL Cobras, original or not, as a basturdization of their marque.
Even after Ron pointed out the further explanation you left at the FFR place...you still didn't come back and correct this thread. Sorta like laying a turd on the run and leaving for everyone else to smell.
Not good form.
This thread is closed.

Hmmm...noticed you REMOVED all of your posts over at the FFR site thread you started.
I really don't like it when folks do that kind of thing to cover up their tracks after starting sh!t...intellectually dishonest. Asspecially after they jump all over a moderator who called them on it.
Enjoy some time off and think about your actions. It is a free country...but it's a regulated one.
