The under hood shots appear to be a fiberglasss replica. The trim around the hood opening doesn't look right for the original aluminum body. So, as noted, this thing is only worth what you could sell it for on a given day - certainly not worth what an original is worth (i.e., a million up). And no one would butcher up a real one these days with those kinds of prices. The thought of a hot four banger sound coming from one is disgusting. Sorry.

Or Hennessey.

For sure, the CTS-V is not a 4 banger, but it would be fun to see what Hennessey could do to a 4 banger.

snoopy, agreed...100 g's would be easy to sink into a kit, especially with all the 'one off, hand made' components...whereas, if you actually had an original cobra, you'd be a tool to customize it in any way.

I posted this on another section, but thought it applied here. For those that didn't see it, prepare to be impressed. At least I was...

Yeah, that's what I was thinkin' Shouldn't be called a 'Shelby Cobra' at all. It's a kit car, plain and simple.

I hate thieves. Each and every one of them should be put to death by lead poisoning. They are no better than child molesters.
