+1 Most "original" Cobras now have dozens to thousands of changes tiny ( a few fasteners here and there) to major (old chassis number on a new made custom car). The trend since the early 1970s has been for people to morph the Cobra they have towards the Cobra they wish they had. Usually but not always that means a move away from any original configuration. Toss in some famous racers and rebuilders who tend to homogenize every car they touch into configurations that work for them and it takes almost no analysis to determine that not many highly original content original configuration cars still exist. An advertised low mile 'untouched' car today usually has as many as two dozen things that have been changed on or around just its engine alone.
