[ZOERA-SC7XX]

All this about an 'authentic' restoration is just too unrealistic. Most of the original 427 Cobras were not originally delivered as they are currently. There's just not enough documentation as to what the cars were when they left AC in England. Shelby finished most of these cars in LA, including paint on many, and many were somewhere between a street Cobra and an SC Cobra. While SAAC has records, they don't have the option lists for all the cars as delivered. Only the original invoices would satisfy as to what these cars were finished and delivered with. Quite unlike a Detroit muscle car with a VIN number that encodes all options. In my opinion, these Cobras should be all that the owners want them to be, within reason (I'm glad we don't see them with these wagon wheels).
