That's absolutely true AC; and is also the case with most show/concept/theme vehicles. More art and showcase than practical transportation, they are designed and built more for stimulating the imagination and emotions than for selling to the masses. Thousands go to car shows and appreciate the radical rods and customs, but very, very few would actually buy one and drive it home.

To a degree, the same could be said for even our "basic" Cobras themselves. They draw loads of attention and everyone out there has a strong (mostly) positive reaction to them. Many people love Cobras but only a precious few nutcases like us are actually inclined and/or able to live with owning one. I like that about them and to me, that's one of the characteristics that makes them special.
