Maybe 'ole Shel thought about putting curb feelers on, a 5th wheel for pulling a horse trailer, or a snow plow on the front too.

I've asked this for 2 decades now: Do you want a replica or do you want a kit car?
I agree with Brent, here. It is not about animosity toward the bowtie brand, rather, it is about doing the right thing for the Cobra and its resale potential - because they are all for sale at some point! Would you put a Cleveland in a Cheetah replica?

Chevy is fine in the right place... behind a Cobra, just like in the 60s!

However, it is your car and your money, so do what you like and makes you happy!
