So I am at a local car show and I had 3 guys tell me my car was a fake. They said the 10th anniversary was built in 2004 not 2003. I figured the guys were tools but they all own 2004 cobra's.
So what is the deal with the 10th Anniversary cars?

They were messing with you or had not clue what they were talking about. Anyone can have any car doesn't mean they know anything about it

Should've told them it was actually "built" in 2002. That would've went over well haha.

2003 10ths made in 2003. 1003 coupes and 1000 verts. Mine was the only Cobra left on the lot in Sept. 03 and they didn't want it around with the 04s on the way.

I got the certificate as above, but also two letters were with it. One was about the build number in the convertible line and the other (attached below) was about the 10ths:

Mine too! 6 cars after yours.

(This isn't the original Certificate -- I have that too -- but this one was handier online. This is one of the Coletti signed versions a guy on here was reproducing from original blank certificates.)

That's kinda messed up. Sad to hear about owners like this whether they're trolling or not.

The 10th Anniversary vehicles were a late 2003 production run.

Specifically, the 10th Anniversary model was built in June/July of 2003. Regular production of the 2003 ended in May, 2003. You are absolutely correct that the 10th Anniversary was therefore a late 2003 production run. That may be the reason why this guy was saying it was a 2004 car, since it actually was built after the end of the regular 2003 run. But it is definitely a 2003 model year car. Which most of us know.
