Misleading people as usual. When people ask if any Cobra is "Real", they are askinf if it was one of the 1000 or so originals built in the 1960's, and currently worth over $600,000. Nobody is saying the Continuation replicas arent "Genuine" Cobras, but the question people ask most often uses the word "Real", meaning the originals from the 60's. Deal with it.

Candidly I don't care a rats pututy what the questioner may be really asking in his own mind. Its not my job to figure this out. I guess you are related to Great Kazoo. You can apparently read minds.

Fact is, Continuation series Cobras have been in existence now for more then a decade and the subject of various magazine articles, T.V. and in the press on on the Web. Many more people are aware of the Continuation Cobras today then 10 years ago. How do you know what the questioner means today?

I answer the question as posed accurately and factually as stated above. Thats what the car is. If the questioner wants more info thats for him/her to ask. If the question is "Is that an original" the answer is accurately "no".

I couldn't care less what people may mean when they ask is that "real" nor is it my position or obligation to read their mind or guess or surmise as to what they may be really asking. I answer the question as posed factually and accurately as noted above. Doing so doesn't mean I am "misleading" anyone. I don't see anything misleading by saying "yes it is a real Cobra its a Shelby American Continuation series 427 Cobra." If they don't know or understand what that is its not my job or obligation to tutor them.

So let me get this straight. You acknowledge the CSX Continuation series are genuine Cobras so as you note I guess I wouldn't be misleading people if I said it was a "genuine" Cobra but I'm misleading them by saying its a "real" Cobra?

Oey Vey.

Thanks but I'll keep answering the question as I see fit which is accurate and fair.

Takes care.

Rod Knock: Well I guess that the perception on this site is all thats needed to make a judgement then. Standing up for the facts and defending the CSX with facts doesn't make one pompous. It makes one principled. Last I checked there is a difference.

Xlr8or: Ouch!

Last I check you were one of the worst historical Continuation series detractors here on CC. You should be talking? Now you agree with Sal? So I guess I was right then all along over the years on the CSX issue and you were....WRONG!.

It takes a big person to admit they were wrong and I give you credit for that.

I just agreed to what he said about you, but it's nice to know you were checking up on me.
