I just assumed that everyone knew what a Cobra was, and the history behind them, but I guess we must be in the minority to pour so much money and time into a classic car.

Classic statement Beejay ! I've had mine registered for ages, unpainted and ugly...still building and improving. When I drive it (usually for rego tests and test drives) nobody looks at it. One comment from a HQ ute driver "geeze it's ugly mate". I've also had to explain what , how and history of the Cobra to many people who don't have a clue what the car is. Like you said only 10% know and they DO ask engine size first. I don't know what they say when someone says "It's a chev not a Ford".....mines a ford
