This particular "kit" came from Boss Replica Motors in Burlington, Ontario. There are over a dozen manufacturers of these cars worldwide such as Factory Five, Superformance, Johnex3 etc.
All of the various manufacturers have different things to offer and different price ranges, so the choice comes down to a lot of shopping and figuring out exactly what you want.
There are actually 5 Cobras in this picture! Mine is the white one (before paint obviously)
