No. However, 427 'replicas' in many cases have a variety of deviations from the original. And this is just accepted. The 289 is distingushised by a different nose, door, flare, trunk, filler, roll bar, etc. The details become more important.

For example, the Carlisle car in your gallery takes wide liberties on the Cobra theme. Half Cobra, half hotrod. The ERA could stand next to an original and you would (at least I would) need to see the emblem or the frame to tell them apart.

I would be ok with an ERA/Kirkham/orignal style body and interior. Everytime I see an ERA next to an FFR, EM, Shell, etc. the differences seem dramatic.
