My question: how does SPF find buyers for their "rollers" at $50k plus when there seems to be a plethora of nice, clean, low mileage cars with good power trains being offered in the low to mid forties?

As I said, just curious.
Just as a W A G (wild ass guess), I think there are still a lot of people with disposable income that are willing to pay for the prestige of owning a high end name. Only speculation on my behalf. I see people paying big $$ for a lot of things and can only walk away scratching my head.

What I don't understand is the cars that resemble a Cobra but have morphed into something bigger, wider, longer with various power plants. How do these enter the Cobra market?
