I bought a used Cobra replica for $18,200. It was originally listed for sale at $26,000. With the basic kits running around $20K for a "non-donor" model, getting a vehicle already equipped with a drivetrain, painted, tires and wheels, etc. represents an incredible savings at my price point, much less at yours.
So far all I have spent to improve my Cobra replics is $150 for bumperettes for the rear bumper and about $120 for a new K&N X-Stream filter assembly. I drive it as a daily driver and get around 25 mpg on the highway, probably close to 22 mpg in town as long as I keep my right foot under control.
Sounds like a real deal to me.....oh, yeah, my interior is OK except that it needs new carpet, too....a project for the winter, I think!
