You're not going to make too many friends on here with that kind of attitude.

As for values it's a tricky subject. Dave's car is a CR which is considered by many to be one of the better quality replicas. If you want to buy a turn key car from CR I believe it's up in the $120K range. To bring Dave's car up to that level it just needs paint so add another $10K-$15K for a pro paint job.

I can understand Dave's backpedal. A lot who have built Cobras will be thinking just about the cost in materials they have put into the car and not factoring in the labor etc. Replacement cost is a rude shock when you look at having a shop build the same car you've built yourself.

Cheers
