No. There are differentiating levels, even when the cloak of "professional courtesy" is donned.  |

I don't understand the lawyer talk, but it seems to me that you think the car has an arruminum body like Evan's car. |

Evan's car is actually aluminum-clad fiberglass but, be that as it may, I think jwilgie's car is even better than Evan's. The colors, and the lines, just seem to flow more naturally. I think more people would be drawn to jwilgie's car -- in fact, if both were put on the auction block today I would bet that the profit that jwilgie's car commanded would far outweigh that of Evan's. In fact, there might very well be a loss in store for ol' Evan (if he chooses to realize it, as RodKnock would say) and both, in my mind, are cut from the same CSX bolt of cloth.... |

Uh, no. I am not at all comfortable declaring this car to be a long-lost CSX car. It clearly is not.

Uuuuufffff, this was a rough one  I've been here for a year or so, and I don't think i can rough it out with the ever-knowing Patrick, yet!!
Welcome, jwilgie! I just paid a bunch more money than you for the same car  (semi-educated guess, since I also believe this is not a CSX car), so you got the best deal 
Drive it, make noise, take your wife in it for cool dates, show it at your local event... everybody loves a Cobra! Just be safe! I am still learning to drive (and I totally respect) mine...
Cheers!

... well, you never know, it could be a CSX car that is just cleverly disguised. Until we have Mr. Mustang examine it up close, we'll never know for sure.... |

MrMustang does not have to study it any further, the pictures posted clearly show it to be an early Unique (not a factory built unit though).

There, you see, Bill thinks it's likely to be a CSX car disguised as a home-brew Unique, too. Could be worth a fortune, I tell ya.... |

Did anyone else notice? Could Patrick name drop any more than he has: Computerworks, Jamo, Real1, ERAChas, RodKnock, Nedsel, MrMustang, etc.?    |

BTW, I can say unequivocally that the OP's car is NOT a Kirkham.

Give it a rest, others have already said it is clearly not an ERA. |

Just for my own information, since they are rarely duscussed or seen, what makes a Unique Cobra such a good car?

Uhhh, I thought you were going to answer jhv48's question with the clever retort "because they are rarely discussed or seen." |

Oh, I'm paying attention. I've just been laughing so hard I couldn't see the keyboard.
I agree. Long lost CSX for sure. Yep,definitely.
Maybe Bill could check my car as Patrick has me second guessing if I even have a CSX now.
Bill can I send you some frame pics? This whole thread has got me worried. Jeez what if? I'd have to change my user name and everything. How embarrassing.
Oey vey.
