Among the somewhat unfounded assumptions you seem intent on making is the implication I was talking about flipping....am not, was not.
Throughout the entire collector car market, there has always been a large demographic with changing interests, low threshholds of boredom, etc.
It runs right from six figure hotrods, Ferraris, Lambos, Porsches, current, vintage, and everything in between probably including the hole strata of Cobras, real, copies, almost real, etc.
If there is one particular demographic about Cobras is that now old guys that lusted after them as teens can actually afford some version of one, two stark realizations enter into the equation, A. they're getting older and B. maybe 2500lbs. & 500,600,700,HP wasn't such a great idea given A.
Lastly, it seems no matter how prepared some of these "enthusiasts" intent on being, the fact that they spent serious cash and have something that's hot, smelly, shakey, drippy, where things fall off once in a while, and will kill you for inattention.......see A.
