Looking for a new TURNKEY

As I have indicated before, auction prices for "replica" automobiles are not indicative of the real market. The cars sold at TV auctions tend to be purchased by "opportunistic" purchasers. I doubt any ERA, SPF, BDR or even Kirkham, sells at auction for what an equal car advertised on CC, Cobra Country or any of the other regular venues for these cars sells for. I am sure I can find a BDR sale at one of the "ego auctions" that would indicate a poor investment to the original buyer but that is not the real world. I know you handle resale cars at a much higher price/value point than the TV crap.

Jay, if you rally need to know what we can do for that figure I'm sure you can have someone pose as a prospect and get a quote. I don't ask what you sell your product for, because honestly, we really rarely go head to head. Your buyers want a Cobra styled hot rod and our buyers are looking for something else. Neither is "wrong", it's just different strokes for different folks.

Obviously you are out of the loop since you were not present with the Superformance group in their display at Barrett Jackson last week in CT (which is not far from your territory so I don't understand why you would not be there). I did not see anything in the display with a price tag even close to $75k. I can see the roller prices here:

Browse our Cars | Hillbank Motor Corporation

And I'm wondering what you can offer for $75k with a 427 Windsor, new for this figure. I am happy to share our price on whatever you like since it is publicly available on my site, eBay, in my booth etc. No mystery.

Dang, I just spent some time on the hillbankusa.com site. I don't see how you can get a new SPF now with a small block 427 for anywhere near $70k.

There are other engine choices than Roush, etc. It IS possible to do a basic spec car for about 75K but it will be just that, basic. Notice that I had suggested the OP stretch his budget number a bit to get a better specification? Nowhere did I say a 427W for $70,000.

Jay,

We do not have a defined "territory" as such and I don't market at Barrett-Jackson type events as the cost to benefit ratio does not work for us. We leave that to you high roller, shooter types!
