But on a more serious note; Yes, the 10 hours went by. I thought, I wrote, I didn't throw it in the garbage can. But during those 10 hours, listening to the Jeopardy think music, I transitioned to the ethereal plane. I became one with the universe... Oh, and I won that raffle for that VIN tag Cobra_Diver was raffling off. So now I own a real Cobra. Unlike the rest of you cretins. You lowly replica owners. You know who you are. I'm better than all a ya's. So there. And it only cost me $500 bucks!
First paragraph is incorrect.

The second paragraph begs the "real" question as Al noted earlier. Continuation owners have a multitude of factual and legal basis to call there cars a Cobra. Other than Shelbys, ACs and Kirkhams ...those who own any other car what's your basis other than that "ethereal" plane Paul F is floating on and his raffle winnings to call your car a Cobra no less put plates on them ranging from improper antique plates to vanity plates telling others it's a "Cobra".?

Now you can start the Jeopardy music.

Other than an "ethereal" plane I certainly don't see any except for "respect" but that is a two way street.
