I've never had the desire to own a Cobra but I have enjoyed the veiwpoints in this thread! A lot of it could be applied to most hotrods....

Besides Factory Five (which I need to study a lot more) another popular replica I found is Backdraft.

I like the pro-touring vibe some of them have too. Uses a suspension system based on a BMW M3 suspendion iirc.

Optional 'GT' fender treatment. Personally I'd pass on it...

Quit talking and buy something.

Backdraft is a Florida company --- now's the time to strike a deal. They'll be in need of cash for cleanup.

Remember these are glass bodied cars --- therefore are not "expensive" to start with. They have several in stock and ready for you to install a motor. Pick up the phone and buy something.

No buyee over the phone.

(No offense to our Florida folks of course).

These guys are Backdraft dealers and are a lot closer.
