From a pure cost and availability standpoint, IMO comparing high-volume production vehicles to limited production hand made replicas are two completely different scenarios. For example, if someone wanted to find a solid black ERA big block with an original 427 in it, and all the right bits, they might have to pay the price to get it vs. easily finding a used 2008 Black Ford GT Mustangs on cars.com or new at many lots across the US. I bet you'd find 100x the Mustangs available as compared to the solid Black ERA 427 SC Cobra, don't ya think? i.e. routine auto business economics (supply vs. demand).
