This could be a bit tricky... There are owners in several different classes from an an original Cobras, to a continuation, to super performance, era, fact 5, lone star, classic roadsters, etc.
values from over a million dollars to $50-70k, on down to $25k. Some Owners of the higher end cars, are likely to snub owners of the lower end cars.

On the other hand, buyers are also of different economic classes as well. Some will want the most truest representation of an original priced Above $60k, while others can only afford the older less authentic models at $25-30k.

Being that every class of cobra I mentioned still looks like a Cobra, and any carefully built car can run and drive just fine. There will be a buyer thrilled to have an older less authentic cobra for $25, and others happy to lay out $100k

I would not diss anyone wanting to join the hobby at any class level. However, I would not be against warning any buyer of any class that maintenance and good basic repair knowledge is needed and to be Carefull, that these are light weight, hi powered, short wheelbase cars, that require more respect and care when driving over most muscle cars...

BTW, I own a Classic Roadster $30k range and love it. I would love a Super Performance at over $60k, but just can't swing it. Especially when I have to park it for over 6 months in the winter, and many rainy weekends in the summer.
