CSX2000 , I wasn't thinking of replicas and just hit the wrong key... You seem a little wound up about it - frankly what difference does it make? The car in the photo and the red one at the show are both real Cobras CSX2000 cars... I fixed my typo..

I do not consider either the 1000 or 4000 cars to be real Cobras any more than a Factory Five, Kirkham or Superformance although all are nice replicas.. Neither do the people who own 2000 and 3000 cars, just ask them. I have been around this block before and I do not care to re-visit this dead horse - you have my opinion and that of virtually all of the guys who own the cars made in the 60's. Be happy, I am sure your cars are really nice.
