I know where you're coming from. I don't believe in mock-ups. BUT, each to their own. I would rather have the real thing. And this includes all the vintage Falcons pretending to be GTs. I would rather restore an XY to its original starting point (eg a Fairmont), than add stripes and the like to make a replica.

You don't see too many XC Cobra replicas. Oh hang on, did you mean the clown cars that Ford released recently? One would be hard pressed to cheapen the class of those things.

Which was the REAL COBRA? The original X-series coupe which was little more than a promotional sticker pack to clear a slow selling model?
Or the BF series, which also had nothing unique apart from some interior and exterior cosmetics?

I thought that the Cobra was that little car that originally come out of Britain and was then modified by some bloke called Carroll Shelby. :hihi:

There probably wouldn’t be many young ones here who would even know who the two people on the front guard are. :hihi:
