[Tigers] One of a kind Cobra

[Stephen Waybright]

My rambling thoughts...

How about a "knock-off". 

It's not a real AC Shelby
Cobra, since those were only legal production cars manufactured in the 60's.
(Pet peeve... labeling/registering kits/replicas as 60's Cobras instead of
what they really are, call a spade a spade).

It's not a clone as that would
be more of an exact "DNA match", which this car is not.

Replica, might be a
nicer sounding phrase than my suggested "knock-off". 

I like the "tribute"
name for mass production cars that are morphed into more special versions of
their kind.. ie Hemi Cuda tribute cars as example.

An Alger could almost be a
Tiger "tribute" if it is done with enough correct details. Maybe this could
"Cobra" be considered a AC Shelby Cobra tribute car???
