It's not just the Cobras. This has been going on for a long time. Duesenbergs and other classics that have been rebodied are looked upon as being less desirable than an original car. Most makes don't enjoy the extensive documentation that SAAC and others have been keeping track of for decades, so it sometimes gets difficult to say what is or is not correct and authentic. At a concours, though, I feel that the cars should be authentic. There are plenty of car shows where an owner of a replica can display his or her car and enjoy it. Leave the concours to the authentic cars.
