How do you answer, "Is it real?"

[jhv48]

I usually just tell them to call Evan. He’ll be glad to enlighten them.

[novasscnc]

I always say if it was real I would not let you get within 50 feet of it, then I explain its a replica and the value of the real ones

"Are surgically altered silicone breast implants real tits?" Who cares? ...and I can tell the difference.

It's a Kit Car and I built it myself and it was fun to build and even more fun to drive!!! (when not getting arrested by the Po Po)

[moore_rb]

I remember hearing them all....:

Q: "Is it a kit?"
A: "No, it's been fully assembled"

Q: "Is is real?"
A: "No, you're imagining it"

Q: "Did you build it?"
A: "Yes, and they came...."

You're just jealous because I don't have to hear the "is it real" questions anymore. Everyone knows my car is "genuinely" 55 years old.

[novasscnc]

Just to add I say get in and get a picture most time they go really even a replica gets them excited

Its very simple guys... It needs to have a CSX vin# to be even considered in the "real" conversation.
Are the KMS/ERA/SPF cars just as nice or better? a complete different topic.

That's another advantage of buying an ERA over a CSX car, you never have to engage in the discussion.

Fixed it for you

I agree, Bill....but not a good idea to change Mike's quote without stating that you edited it

Tried to change the color to red on my playful edit, but could not get the drop down to work for me. Tried to test it again on this response and I still cannot get it to work for me.

Lighten up, it was done in a playful, not malicious manner., as has been done here at Club Cobra since the beginning of the forums time on the web. For the start and finish of the argument, you'll need to research Evan's (search Real1) old posts, as this topic has been beaten so much to death that there is nothing left of the horse but ashes.

Ahhh, brings back the times when I would change RodKnock's quotes to say something completely different and generally insulting. Usually as an attempt to target an innocent third party, like ERAchas. Oh, those were the days....

Thank you for the reply, Yes I remember evan, I thought he was an arrogant ass. This is why I had positive things to say about ERA/KMS/SPF I am the former owner of ERA 626. There are lots of people who paid a premium for the CSX VIN # AGAIN is it a better car? it depends on who builds the CSX. The ERA I can say from personal experience was bolt on right out of the box. EXCELLENT people to deal with at ERA.

The CSX car... well lets just say you need to have good mechanical skills to build a car, if you don't, don't buy a CSX unless you hire someone to build it. I enjoy the process so at the end of the day it will be a top shelf car. I have been doing extensive research on the 6000 series CSX car. hundreds of photos on the internet of people who have no clue on how to build a car specifically how to install a drive train. Its amazing on how many guys think they can simply drop in a motor and transmission and expect it to fit properly. Lots of guys have the valve covers almost touching the footbox!! WRONG. Drive shaft angle, height of the transmission etc... The ERA was spot on straight out of the box(s) The CSX? NO. But if you have the skills and the time the CSX car is very nice car. and YES ITS A REAL SHELBY. is it a 1965? NO.is it a real Shelby with a CSX VIN#? YES. FACT.

Again with much respect for other guys with very nice cobras... in fact David Kirkham has been extremely helpful in my build and I bought the car from another dealer... Peter P. and David Kirkham we are lucky to have people like these guys in the very tight group we enjoy... cheers.

[sea2jet]

It's a real Superformance, LOL...At least when I owned CSX4236 it was a Shelby creation. Then I got smart and bought an ERA :-)

[Bartruff1]

Anyone with a pulse in their brain would know that what they are asking is …" Is it a Original ?"......in my case....NO....it is a Replica....why make a smart ass answer....unless of course you are a smart ass...
