Well at least Blas answered the other question (dang it, forgot the password or I'd have helped ya!).

If the second owner spent around $50K for that car and doesn't have clarity on what he bought, I'd be concerned a little. The replica industry, like most industries, has its share of unscrupulous parties and it wouldn't take more than a set of valve covers and some engine trim pieces to disguise one motor for a Roush. I'd insist on original documentation when buying a pre-owned car.

Jim also gave good advice...crawl under the thing (lift or jack assisted, of course!) with a flashlight and get the Tremec tag ID. You would be doing this anyway when buying any Cobra replica, right?

Good luck with your search!
