All original Cobra's are historically significant as is evidenced by the sale prices they command. There can be some excellent replicas but they are in fact replicas. That doesn't mean they will not make an excellent car to drive around today. In fact many replicas are better driving cars than the originals just because of the advances in things like brakes, tires and suspensions.
Like in women, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. There are those of us who are head over heels in love with the 289 generation of cars and then there are others that would not have anything but a 427 body style. The biases for engine are equally broad, so I would not say one is more desireable than the other across the board. Again beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
