The article from the Dallas NBC affiliate indicates this is a "kit car" and, given there's no owner in the background committing seppuku, we're guessing this is right. Even if it's a kit, we've seen how much all-billet aluminum Cobras can cost.

UPDATE: An update on what really happened right here.
