Almost since the reign of the Cobra ended in the late Sixties, replicas have popped up everywhere, but there are also many original cars that still exist. The Shelby Registry shows only a few cars that are missing, which means almost every original car that came out of Shelby/American is still in existence somewhere. Most people prefer to keep their cars as investments, locked up in warehouses and air conditioned garages, but some also like to drive them, and drive them hard. Though most original Cobras are stock, theres a small cult of well-off guys and a couple gals who modify them just because they can. It's these people who everyday car guys often admire the most.
Two of the staff at The Car Blog were driving around today and found this specimen at a local diner. One took photos with his phone, and the other (yours truly) was skeptical. We did our research later, and found whether is was fake or not. So you guys show us your skill: Is it real or fake? What are some reasons it is? And if it's fake, What replicar company made it?
