With what you have to go through to get one of these over the line...

Any well built Registered Cobra , using quality components, in my book STARTS at $70,000 and goes up pretty rapidly with the better components.

Obviously the value will be less, if there has been a lot of short cuts/ bad choices during the build.

Box...I've only seen your car briefly, but it looked pretty well put together when I saw it, so it's in the first category in my opinion.

The time /work / stress taken to make them needs to be compensated.

I don't think we should "flick" many many many months of blood sweat and tears......

This makes up a big part of the value in a well made car....and whoever wants to avoid all of that stress , can do so, by giving reasonable compensation to the "birth father / mother" of the finished creation.

And the way things are going...this price should increase over the coming years....it doesn't seem to be getting any easier.

I have seen a number of cars finished in the last few years that should be worth in excess of $100,000.....

Some of these have been "one of a kind" hand built works of automotive art.....and finished to an extremely high level....

Some would make cars costing twice this amount look average......

That's just my opinion for what it's worth.

Cheers,
Warren
