All because the car is priced a little too high in most people's minds (including mine). But it does show the type of person involved in this hobby, and you wonder why the general public makes a strong distinction between owners of originals vs. owners of a "cheap kit car replicas"? It's all in how you carry yourself, sh!ting on people begets being sh!t on.

I read Joe's post and didn't quite understand the point of it.
If it's true that using a 1965 Ford Mustang VIN on a modern FFR replica and registering it is illegal, then isn't this really warning a potential buyer (aka Consumer Watch)? This is "All Cobra Talk" not the seller's actual advertisement. And we're discussing a car for sale.
And I totally agree with Mike, WTF does this have to do with original versus replica owners? Where's the connection? Connect the dots for us. BTW, you don't think an original 1960's Cobra, and the seller/owner, wouldn't be critiqued both on the merit of the car and its seller? As an example, there are some questionable original Cobras that have been critiqued here too. The one that comes quickly to mind was CSX3016 (one of them, at least I think) that was sold by Exotic Classics out of Syosset, NY about 3 years ago.

"General public"? Well, the "general public" thinks my car is Corvette/Jaguar/MG. Why do I car what they think about my Cobra? I'm not buying what you're selling.
