I may be generalizing but it is apparent from many Cobra owners and potential cobra i speak with you can get a NEW BDR all day long for 55K with a non-roush or KC stroker motor. Sure you may have to call back a couple times but that is what they go for in the end. Once again generalizing but I don't know of any engine combination you can order with a new SPF for under $70K and you go roush go to 80k plu with top, tonnea, side windows, heater, defroster. Another generalization when fully depreciated a SPF within 10 years old and stroker engine (majority being Roush or KC) is $55-65K and BDR is 40-50K, generalizing again due to a new BDR going for $55k and in the end the SPF is a more robust car (not generalizing). In the end both great cars at that price point, either used SPF or new BDR.

I love all the suggestions about picking up a used SPF for 45K with a Rouish, it occurs, but the really smoking deals you better be able to make a decision site unseen and have cash as it will be gone the second I see it. In other words you can get the buy in of all your friends and family, but within in 3 hours of listing on ebay it will be gone and probably need some clean-up. Ceramic coat headers and side pipes, polish wheels... Paint don't go bad. I would be surprised if you even have to wax it.

to wrap it up I have titled a couple new ones and it is a pain in the ass Educating the idiots at the courthouse and inspection station, it is worth an easy $1500 to have one titled, inspected and ready to go over titling a new one and hoping and kissing everyone assss that your 30 sheets of paperwork is correct.
