Default Great responses

These are great comments, I think anyone paying $60k for a SPF roller is insane. I don't want to be the guy remembering the good old days when the SPF roller was $37.5k but my guess is that the company is selling far fewer of them these days, so they cut supply back. THey were up to the 1100 series in 2001, and now they're in the 3600 range? I recall in the mid 2000s (years) they were making 4-600 per year (just a guess) and maybe now they can only really find demand for 200-300 per year. I remember on barrett jackson they were selling a SPF brock for something ridiculous like $200+K

That said, the SPF cars do have great resale, but some of these price tags seem like nose bleed territory to me. Having owned SPF 1118 and 1005, i can attest that there is great value, but in the high 30s low 40s for a mid 2000 vintage and not $72k. I've seen the all aluminum kirkhams sell for $95k to 105k with the aluminum sideoilers. The gap between 95k and 80k to me, just seems like a crazy comparison, but 95k is a uniquely found used kirkham and the spf is new.
