Probably a kit car, the original AC Cobra's are way to valuable. comments?

Problem with these is that many of the kits are so good that it is difficult to distinguish them from the original. Could I suggest that this, since it appeared in a doccie, *could* be the real thing, but i someone could watch it again the narrative should clarify this?

the narrative doesn't discuss the car. the segment is about a car event in West Virginia and how drivers can use the race track for their own cars.

Maybe the only sure-fire way o telling whether it's original would be to email Carrol Shelby himself ;)

I doubt that its a kit car but agree that its probably a replica. By the way, these are 'shelby american cobra' and not AC cobra.

Agree that one cannot usually distinguish a cobra replica from a real car by looking at a picture. Don't know what to do in this case. probably easiest to just call them all cobras and leave a question in the comments unless there is some way to be sure in a particular case.

This is a Factory Five (Wareham, MA USA) Spec Racer. The kit is offered in a spec racer version, that is eligible to compete in several regional events across the US. "Factory Five Racing" is clearly visible just aft of the front wheel well opening.
