Default Cobra Authenticity

Was wondering if all the gurus out there can help a fellow enthusiast out here with some information. What I'm looking for is anything or anyone to give me info on what makes an authentic cobra differ from a kit car. Liittle things all the way up to the obvious(I'm not that ignorant). Some examples would be the little metal badge on the radiatior that says Cirque(spelling?) of England, turn signals originating from a eh hum....volkswagen etc.......... Let the info. roll

Lightbulb Re: Bryan Wilson

Alright I figured it out. Your steering wheel is on the opposite side.
Anyway it still goes to 200 though?
