The flare on the front wheel arch doesn't look like the original '60s ones to me, but I'm no expert either. Looks good though, whatever the origin.Seen this a couple of times in the local M&S car park. I'm no expert but I think it's the real thing.View attachment 123363
Always liked the no-nonsense industrial designs of Peter J. Walker and Henry Kloss.

I’m glad the motorcycle bug never bit me. Too easy to go too fast, and too unforgiving of mistakes.Awesome Ducati! V-Twin bikes rule for sure.
I bought a Ducati 900 Monster new in 1994, loved it till it tried to kill me by going into a 100+ mph tank slapper, I have no idea how I survived it that day. Sold it for a new 98 1200 Buell Cyclone. My last ride was a 2006 Harley V-Rod that we did some very nasty engine work on. Here's a clip of the day I got it out of the crate. Had to give up the hot rod bikes when my back went south on me a few years back, Really sucks to get old.

Wow!
I thought about building one of the replicas 30 years ago or so but ended up buying a TVR Griffith instead, similar idea and more rain proof but this is a stunner!
It looked fairly well worn (seats etc) on the inside so if it's a replica, then it must be a good few years old. The bodywork however looked perfect.That is one of the prettiest 427 Cobras I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a number of them. But the replicas are so close it’s hard to know for sure. I’ve seen a few of the replicas, too.
Looks like an auto gearshift (?) so probably replica. Even as a replica it could easily be 30 years old.It looked fairly well worn (seats etc) on the inside so if it's a replica, then it must be a good few years old. The bodywork however looked perfect.

I highly doubt it. If it was the real thing it's worth well over a million $, not something that gets driven on the street or left to sit in a car park. Next time you see it just go up and tap it or feel the fender edge. If it's aluminum it's real, fiberglass is a repro.Seen this a couple of times in the local M&S car park.

Anything running a Ford driveline has always been expensive to build, specially the engines. You can put together a bigblock Chevy for half the cost of Ford. Just the result of supply-demand.Nah, that’s a Hurst shifter. Period appropriate for a Ford top-loader. May not be original, but a common enough “upgrade”.
I first saw a replica Stallion more like 45 years ago. They were expensive to build.
One of the youtube car channels has a cliche saying. "On a long enough time line, every car ends up with an LS motor".Anything running a Ford driveline has always been expensive to build, specially the engines. You can put together a bigblock Chevy for half the cost of Ford. Just the result of supply-demand.
It wasn’t the driveline that was expensive, though I’m not disputing what you say. It was the frame—it had custom frame parts that had to be fitted and welded by an expert, as I remember it.Anything running a Ford driveline has always been expensive to build, specially the engines.

If it's aluminium it might be real - a few kit manufacturers have sold aluminium bodies over the years.If it's aluminum it's real, fiberglass is a repro.
