Default original

By the way, as another example of the lack of concern with originality, awhile back I was speaking with probably the most respected Cobra restorer whose name brings the highest resale (I won't reveal who) about 427 blocks, he asked if I had any spares. I said I knew where a couple may be, but they wouldn't be cheap since they had the correct early part numbers/date codes - his response was that he didn't care at all about original part numbers, etc, "only the kit car people worry about that". This is typical of the industry, where people want big bucks for their cars after "restoration", even though most of the car is reproduction or not correct.
