I don't understand why it makes a difference if you think I am honest or not, you can't possibly know either way so what ever you think of me personally doesn't matter to this thread. I started this thread because I know nothing of aluminum cars no mater who makes them, my own car is a fiberglass replica, although it is a very high end built car I still have nothing to compare.
Fraud, dynamite deceit? I have no idea what you want from me and what I can do to make you believe all I was looking for is help on identifying the manufacturer so very early on in this thread it was established that it couldn't be a AC car so what is it then, that's what we are looking for. It doesn't really matter why or who put such an obvious fake COB number does it because everybody seems to know there is no such thing so lets move on. There are absolutely on other stamps on the car other than what has already been mentioned.
Thanks again for all the members help on this thread.

How you interpret Bill's words is your interpretation, it's certainly not mine. Bill is trying to help and he calls them as he sees them. He's blunt.
Two facts are known.
1. The car is stamped with a COB number. And it's not a COB. Describe it as you will, but as long as it retains that invalid COB # it can be passed off as a fraud, maybe not with the OP, but potentially some other owner in the future. There are plenty of examples of cars with invalid COB for CSX numbers in the Registry, two owners claiming the same COB or CSX number, etc.
So as long as this Cobra retains that COB number it represents the potential for fraud. That's the bottom line.
2. No one here has been able to determine the manufacturer of origin. IMO, the workmanship is well below that of a Kirkham/CSX and the body of the Kirkham/CSX and the OP's car have obvious differences.
