My fake is faker than your fake!

[REAL 1]

Oh, no,no,no. OP carefully and calculatingly limited participation to only imposters/fakeydos and correctly noting as such your fakeydo is not "real", a Shelby, original or "correct". I and other continuation Cobra and original Cobra owners were expressly not invited. This was made VERY clear at the outset nor do we intend to participate in such a blatantly discriminatory and exclusionary thread! Don't try to explain or back peddle now. We're out.

It's OK though, we completely understand, as our participation with our cars would completely ruin the purity and continuity of "fakeyness" you guys have going here. I have to say though, I thought you guys would have preferred the SAAC definition and categorization of your cars better than the non authoritative and informal " fakeydo " description but hey whatever floats your boat.

Carry on.

: )

Cheers

And now back to our regularly scheduled program - how about a fakery windshield emblem



Or a street roadster sidecurtain pocket (that's too small for the sidecurtains to actually fit in.

Roger that on the windshield tag - got one of those, but as for that side curtain pocket - man, oh man, why didn't I think of that!!!! Now to figure out how to make that work with my seat-back braces on the Kirkey vintage seats.

Well not so fast, one must delve deeper into the underpinnings to understand the genesis of this thread.

Where did this term “fakeydoo” on CC come from, now recognized as a valid description of these cars with active participation by their owners?

Replica or a modern reproduction?

Yes Evan, you coined the term on CC which is now in the dictionary of The world's largest non-biased Cobra site! Is not imitation the highest form of flattery? I would say this positions you well to be an unbiased gatekeeper of all things fake, no? Note, it has already been seen that all the chevy guys would have been cast to the wind as “nolo contendere” based on misunderstood AC Car history. Fortunately, the error was pointed out and now the chevy guys are back in it BIG with their entries on par with China knock-offs.

I think CCRsAC recognizes your expertise in this area and is soliciting your part-time help in determining the validity of fakiness with certain creative interpretations. Your contribution in this capacity would only serve to keep the thread on track.

I'm thinking this thread should come with a warning. Viewing this thread with rose colored glasses is stricly prohibited.

Well, well, well... it appears we have our first fake conflict - I mean real conflict over fake subject matter. It appears that we need a ruling on which is faker - brass screws or silver screws holding the windshield tag in place.

So, I hereby publicly welcome all non-fake owners to opine on what is more in keeping with the fakeydoo ethos - brass or silver (see post #83)

Yes, yes, yes thank you very much I do appreciate the compliment. Truly thank you. Ordinarily I would be more than happy to help the guys out , however, the guys on this thread are doing a fantastic job on their own and they really don't need me. It's all in the Registry you know. . Besides all the cars invited to participate in the OP are equally "replicas" according to SAAC or shall we say "fakeydo" as the guys here on this thread prefer to refer to them. They just differ in color, trim and accessory, chassis design etc..but all equally fake...you know just like no snow flake is the same but they are all ...snow flakes.

Cheers.

China knock-offs. That's just too much!

Now that's funny! Lol

[jolsen42]

Evan was not the first to use the term Fakeydo. "Fakeydo" was first said by the announcers on a telecast of a Barrett Jackson Auction, about 10yrs ago refering to fiberglas replicas.

Well keeping with tradition, we should only recognize the only true source for Cobra Fakeydo's. And that source would be Club Cobra. And should be adopted by the SARC.

A search shows Chaplin on 11-30-07 in post #27. The thread and poll, Shelby vs SAAC

rep·li·ca /ˈrɛplɪkə/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[rep-li-kuh] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun 1. a copy or reproduction of a work of art produced by the maker of the original or under his or her supervision.


Replica | Define Replica at Dictionary.com

Seems to me that Series 4000 are the only true replicas.

Everything else is just a fakeydo!

But Continuation Series is an acceptable description as well.

So Evans post is not an Original but a Replica. Total Fakery but not in a Kit Form and some may say it's a Continuation. Definitely not a Genuine!

Shelby vs SAAC
However you have to read the last two pages! lol

I would also guess we live in our kingdoms of, "Fakeydodumb"?

One needs to remember that the originals weren't always worth what they are today and in fact many sat on dealer lots for years before sold back in the 60's.

Fake VHT



Don't even know where to start

[rgnbull1227]

Did this site get permission to use the word Cobra? Cause clearly the majority of the Cars here are Fakeydoos and according to 1, the only car allowed to be considered a Cobra, replica or not, are originals and Continuations. May need to see about changing the name to

Well, technically, the Kirkham's are called Kirkham Cobra's in the SAAC World Registry. Whee!

OIL FOOLER - brilliant!!! Mark, I'm seeing a whole new side of you, man.

I also love the irreverence of the Gentleman Jack catch can - how many of us could have used one of those ourselves after a particularly long night of drinking that stuff? I gotta find a suitably sophomoric catch can, too. Let's see some more versions so that I can, due to my lack of scruples, convert someone else's idea to my own - after all, it's the fakeydo way.

[CCRsAC]

Okay, another problem... how do we spell fakeydo? We'll need to nail that down for the SARC registry.

[Thor maine]

Are we fake yet???
