Oh, you mean, like here?

Exactly, except this isn't the seller's actual ad. A ClubCobra member posted it here for discussion, which we're doing.

This is a separate forum from BaT, if you didn't notice.


And if you've never entered a discussion forum before, say like one that discusses the NBA or MLB or NFL, then the comments made here in comparison are tame.

Bottom line, a date code correct NOS side oiler block in a fiberglass Cobra replica, where nothing else is date code correct but the block, is utter nonsense to me. ;)

And Thor maine is correct above. It's a "nice kit car."

As is, to me, an unpainted car, but to each his own.

Ooh that one hurt. Wow, you really got me with that one. Still quick as a whip, and sharp as a tack, Tony.

Hey Tony, isn't about that time to get in line for the Early Bird Special at the local "all-you-can eat" buffet and get some chicken wings, cheesy bread sticks and mashed potatoes, no? :LOL:

It has everything a growing boy could love: cheese, bread, butter, salt.

On a related topic, here's something for you "chew on."

"Nearly half of America’s overweight people don’t realize they’re overweight."

So grab another cheesy bread stick. :p

I thought the four food groups were barley, hops, yeast and sugar. And a bit of water.

Why nonsense, kidding aside WTF is wrong with a nice car with a premium engine under the hood. The embellishments may be BS but as far as the engine, I'd rather have it than not.

31 comments and 20++ is by one person. I guess whoever types the most is right :)

I didn't know you could count that high. Congrats. Your parents must be proud.

At some point do you plan to buy a Cobra or is your plan to just come to CC every now again and show off your math skills.

IMO and I'm sure there are many here who disagree, date coded engines in replicas, any replica, including Porsche Speedsters and Spyders, are just plain wasting time. If it were a real Cobra, Porsche or Corvette, then I get it. They made those cars in the 1960's.

I personally think it's a nice touch to try and replicate the original as best as you can. It can be a full blown attempt or even minor touches that give it a more original 60s look and feel. I mean it's a replica so why not replicate !!!! �� Me personally I hate seeing Coyote engines under the hood of a Cobra or 17-18" tires and wheels but everyone has an idea of what they want their car to be. To each his own.

i don't know any speedster replicas nor continuation cars, i only know some speedster lookalikes, complete other pair of shoes

a replica is a complete date correct original specificated copy, therefore a replica needs an original specificated engine, mostly only available as date coded engine

a kirkham is the perfect replica in the sense of the meaning, csx 4000 alu is no original, no replica-copy but a continuation, csx 4000 fiberglass... a continuation but no exact replica ...

RodKnock 12-08-2016 08:00 AM
Guys, I/we've discussed this topic many times before.

You're going by the strict definition of the word "replica" which would mean an exact copy. Unfortunately no Cobra replica is an exact copy of the original. For example, the Kirkham body missed many details of the original body on purpose.

As much as we want to copy the original, our replicas will never be an exact copy and that's OK. I just believe finding original parts and sticking them on a replica is waste of time. But if you want to find that OEM dash knob or fuse box, go ahead, but if I'm buying a replica that has a date coded side oiler I'd actually pay less for it knowing that a Pond or Shelby block is a modern part that performs better, as one example.

I understand "original-ism". I have a Porsche too and the radio doesn't work. So I'm going to repair the radio or find one just like it, instead of buying a modern radio that performs better. But the car is a real Porsche made in Germany not a replica.

peterpjb 12-08-2016 08:15 AM
you always compare porsches and cobras but that doesn't work

porsches are constructions with all parts designed, constructed and predominantly manufactured by porsche

cobra is a component car from the very beginning with the only intellectual performance to connect the right existing parts
