How do you answer, "Is it real?"

What do you say when some idiot comes up and asks "what year Corvette is that" (and yes, some idiot DID ask me that)?

One fella down here used to yell "Aston Martin" every time I drove by in the Cobra!

Original CSX3000 owner in the 70's. Sold in 1980. Regrets ? NO !! Also had one of the 66 GT350 convertibles (1 of 4). Bought it the year before I got the Cobra . They did continuation ones of them to. Quality was something to be desired BUT it did bring more knowledge about the originals. Sold mine in 2015 an bought a CSX4000 car. Always had a Shelbys since 1971 and I wanted a Shelby car. Wasn't a big decision to me. Now 5 years later I am getting the itch to move on again. Old age does that to ya Oh goin threw old Cobra paperwork an found a brochure from ERA from the 80's I think. Really liked the Kirkhams and ERAs. Time marches on.

I loved my Cobra, wife hated it. Bought a Ford GT to replace the Cobra. Both gone. Had some Shelby Mustangs too (08 Barrett Jackson Shelby GT convertible x 2). Regrets? Only that I didn't get the toys sooner. The end game was coming at the same point, so I should have started playing earlier Wife gave permission to get one of the SGTs back, but would sooner get a new eco-boost convertible.

I have had that question. At least they're interested enough to ask, better than feigning (or real) indifference.

I tell them "It's a 64.... "
