Boy, a lot of talk about snobbery. It's everywhere unfortunately. People will always be human and flawed. We just have to deal with that. I guess I've been snubbed but I never paid it any kind or response. From the get go, I just loved the lines of the Cobra regardless of who manufactured it (except possibly the JBL which is just way too odd looking).

I told my wife when I was 45, that I will either build one or just buy one built. I didn't care either way so long as I HAD ONE!

But as a general car nut, I wanted to challenge myself so the FFR was the perfect platform. I wasn't disappointed. 1,000 rivets later, blood/sweat/tears and an upgraded vocabulary and it's done... and it's not even show quality in my humble opinion... but that wasn't the point. It was to be driven. And I knew, like many here, that unless you own an "original" from the 60's, we're all pretty much replica's so I was blatant about it with the high back seats, dual roll bars, and Autometer gauges. And STILL, people ask me if it's original/restored. Now if they snub me after that, I would just mutter to myself, "well if you even knew what you were looking at, you wouldn't of asked such a stupid question"... but I defer to "if you have nothing good to say..."

If people snub me, it shows a lack of mutual respect. I just pay it back with no response and smile.
