No.
Whatever it is it does seem to use the Daytona's body, but it's not a Daytona Cobra at all by anyone..

Post by: D-type on December 29, 2012, 03:40:08 PM: Perhaps we should establish where this Cobra 'replica' was built. Was it built in Japan?

Not Japan, no.
Although I replied 'No' to dzima1985's question in Reply #2 because that's not what this car is now, it would perhaps be fairer to say that is what it started out as before it became what it is now!

Post by: mekubb on December 31, 2012, 12:42:36 PM: So to be clear : the car started out as a Cobra Daytona Replica (by Factory Five ?) but now it has been converted into another car ? Meaning that the engine and/or body has been changed ?

Yes, a Factory Five Cobra Daytona Replica body has been used to create something different. Clearly the body is the same, so it must be mechanical..
