Factory Five has been around since 1998 & is in the 8,000 range in cobra replicas & has the largest manufacturing numbers. Unique has been making cobras since 1979 so in 35 years at say 100 per year we have 3,500. Superformance has been around since 1996 with a production of another 3,500. Backdraft has been around since 2000 & has sold roughly 1,500, as I remember Reg celebrating their 1,000 unit a short time ago. With those four companies we have 16,500. ERA has been making cobras for a long time. With 25-30 companies in business now and another 20-25 who no longer are in business making cobras I would say 30-35 thousand replicas would be a much more accrete account, in the past 35 years. With less than 1,000 originals we have come a long way, to putting the cobra image back on our roads, even if it is a replica.
