All I'm suggesting is that if indeed they are a lot of unobtainium-type NOS OEM parts, they actually may increase the value of the original genuine '60's Cobra more than the loss of value on the Resurrection Cobra. How much do these wealthy individuals spend on a restoration anyway? I'm sure there are some 1960's Cobras (drives me nuts that I have to state 1960's Cobra) that need ALOT of work. Is it smart? I dunno, but as David said these Resurrection Cobras will be dead nuts original. And you can't and/or won't drive them anyway.

I'm not saying some eccentric nut wouldn't do what you are saying but the main problem would be if that becomes a trend or happens even once this could increase the size of the "cloud" IMHO that already exists by virtue of (1) using 3000 vins (2) referring to these cars as "Completion" cars (3) referring to them as dead nuts 100% percent accurate which they can never be. Not an original body or chassis. By the way are the bodies the same thickness as the original? Moreover, we would need to see a COMPLETE build sheet to be assured of such a 'LOFTY" claim and (4) they would all have to be build to Competition specs to be "historically" accurate as far as the remaining 100.
However, I am glad to see you are making progress with your "denial" syndrome. Don't let it drive you nuts. Just relax and breath deeply. You'll be fine and feel better!
