Maybe I should sign up on the SAAC website because there I'm guessing are owners of 1960's Cobras. I'm still annoyed at Kopec for turning me away at his home when trying to get convention info almost 30 years ago. Yes it was his house SAAC headquarters at the time and told me I had the wrong address. That with a '65 R GT350 in the garage. I still owe him an arse kicking.
I can drive a multitude of automobiles and never get asked the question of original unless I'm driving a Cobra. I drove a Pegaso the other weekend to Naples to visit the museum and not many knew what it was, but I didn't get asked is it original.
Someone made a good point about owning an AC, I'm going to ask my brother he owns a '60 AC Ace Bristol.

You asked a different question than previous threads. The angst of owners of the various reproductions is just something that pops up from time to time under a full moon no matter what the thread is about. Another one is "big block versus small block" even anyone with half a brain knows that big blocks are better.
Good on you for your outlook on folks having fun no matter what they drive.
