I usually just reply that mine is a Cobra replica. If they seem interested, I'll get more specific in that it is a replica of a 289 FIA Racing Cobra, of which only 6 were made. I'll then point out the cut-back doors, front grill opening, hood scoop, forward-braced roll bar. If they are still hanging in there, I'll explain the slabside, FIA and 427 Cobras. Most people don't know, and like the history.

If they act like, "Oh, it's JUST a replica..." I typically will add that the last 289 FIA I saw for sale the asking price was $6M, which was outside of my budget (and more than likely, their's, too.).
