I guess if given to long winded answers, you can say: It's real in the sense that like Carroll Shelby, I started by going out to find a donor chassis and body from an established manufacture to start with. Then I got me a big Ford engine and transmission and squeezed them in, found some appropriate tires and wheels, cobbled up a few things as I went and made a few other changes/additions to suit my purposes. So while like Carroll's Cobras, it's a real conglomeration of various parts and sources and has a lot in common with his cars, it's basically kind of like a cousin once or twice, maybe three or four times removed.
