Looking for Authenticity How far to go?

You know Rod, may I call you Rod. For years you've been semi ridiculing and telling everyone how foolish they are for trying to replicate an original Cobra.

So how delusional are you?

But for some of us that's the fun. I never built my cars as an investment. Delusional? Not at all. I built them because I liked building them and make them as close to an original as with what I have to work with.

I've had a love affair with them since they were first introduced. I couldn't afford one then and I certainly can't now. That's why I build replicas.
