1). Is that a FAKE one? Or Real?
2). How much was it?

I'm a new Cobra owner too. Have had my Superformance home for about two weeks now. I absolutely LOVE the attention the car gets and am quite happy to talk about it with anyone and answer whatever questions they may have.
Mind you, I don't usually tell people what I paid for the car -- I find that a bit personal -- but I don't mind telling them what it's worth (appraised value) and what similar cars are listed for. But I struggle with how to answer the question, "Is it real?"
Obviously the car is "real." It's here and I can touch it. It's a real Superformance. It's a real Cobra replica. You get the idea...
Am I really being asked whether the car is an "original" 427SC Cobra, one of 29 ever made? Those have become little more than museum pieces these days, a sad fate for a car, no matter how valuable.
I also find it tough to answer, "What year is it?" I mean, it's a 2002 SPF which is a replica of a 1965 427SC. But since most people know very little about Cobras and even less about Superformance, it all seems a bit complicated.
But hey, at least we're talking about my car...
