There weren't that many Original 427 SC W/427 made.
If they changed the 428 to a 427, changed the rear fender lip, added a roll bar, side pipes.
Those Cobras are now REPLICAS!!!!!
They should have left them only, at least then they would have had an Original not a Replica!!!!!!

As for the 5 ways to tell an Original from a replica.
1) look at the frame (round frame only)
2) inside door panel (metal framing)
3) lights (should not have DOT markings)
4) dashboard (3 cut outs on top of dash panel for frame)
5) radiator angle
If all is good.
Ask to see the engine and look at the vin plate!
