Cobra Dan:

The ultimate irony, which is really pretty funny, is that production was never a problem---demand was. Remember the 427s that sat on dealer showrooms for three years? It is amazing that a car that had, in the end, diffculty selling, would end of commanding so much money years later. A complete reversal of fortune.

I am sure, too, that the initial sticker price was well beyond the financial capabilities of most people. A Corvette was an expensive car, and these (Cobras) were often at a 50% premium or more to the already high-priced Corvette. The extra couple thousand paid big dividends down the pike if one was perceptive enough, though..........
