Now that is an interesting quote that I feel goes to the heart of the matter - we are dealing with something that is not real, it's fake, but there is very close to real at one end and no where near real at the other end. You can go for a reasonable Cobra "look" for $20K at this time and get almost real for in the $40K's. It appears that it's not really the history as it's not real, it's more of a really nice look and toy that is sorta real.
It is interesting that most of us cannot or do not want to pay the price that it takes to put together or buy even a good, almost real, replica. That's something like buying a 4 door, 6 cyl, versus a two door convertible V8. Why bother!
