[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 3530667, member: 9628"] I would guess that if the original fuel would make the difference between MCA Gold and MCA Silver, there would be a reproduction of it also (including smell), but since the fuel is not readily noticable to be "correct" or "incorrect" when viewed by an MCA judge, it probably will be overlooked and not be a factor, batteries on the other hand...................... stick out like a sore thumb to the people who are "in the know" and are choosing between your car which is 100%, and the guy next to you who has the Interstate battery. It can make all of the difference in the world if the "car show" is your thing. I like the vintage muscle Mustangs with Mopar or Delco batteries under the hood next to a concours restored engine compartment. I guess that is an "extra attention to detail" item. Yes, a correct Ford replacement battery for the car is counted as "correct" as far as I know by the MCA, but if "correct original" and "correct replacment" are the differences between two "like cars" (and between Cobra R's there can very easily be "like cars"), well? Will the car start with the original?, most likely not, but I have never been asked to start my car by an MCA judge. R [/QUOTE]
