Not Ranked
This is a most interesting thread. What seems to be emerging is who has the
bragging rights to the "best" replica Cobra. I suspect the answer may well be
a car, or a series of cars, built by David Kirkham's company that have the
most documented NOS parts on them. An MSO signed by Carroll Shelby and
a CSX3000 serial number is only an added enhancement and is not going to
make the car eligible to compete with original 1960s cars for a trophy at
Pebble Beach. No one will be fooled here...the community is too small and too
well educated.
Accurate replicas are wonderful things and I am thankful for their availability.
CSX2047 was my daily driver for five years back in the late 1960s and it was
a wonderful experience. Now, forty-five years later, I have a nice replica to
enjoy! How lucky to be able to travel back in time and enjoy such a visceral
automobile.
