Ron- I didn't mean to piss you off like I did. Please accept my apology. I think the whole Cobra replica thing is a mess, and was created by greed, stupidity and selfishness many years before I could ever have afforded one. Anything made after 1968, and even ORIGINAL AUTHENTIC Cobras that Shelby put 428's in and passed them off as 427's is to varying degrees in the same boat. If Shelby had not been a huckster since day one, this would have not progressed as it has, to such a massive extent (40,000 Cobras worldwide). He was a great driver, creative car designer, and had low ethics. He had the right car, and screwed it up the first time when he started putting 428's in the cars and calling them 427's. He was making knock-off's of his own creation LONG BEFORE anybody else. Now, we have knock-offs of knock-offs that are in and of themselves- knockoffs. Can we at least agree on that?
