[KobraKarl]

Guys

Ive got a sony tv in my den i paid $700 for 15 years ago about $1200 if you figure 1985 dollars. I can buy a better set today for $350. Im pretty sure if you look around your own house you will find plenty of your own examples.

If i were to decide to spend 100k on a Cobra ,Iwould buy an SAI
if I were to decide to spend 140k I could choose from many 289 originals, Kirkhams $85 to $95k market may not be that strong, if they can make more money through volume sales( not a new idea) what is wrong with that? Are they suposed to sit back and watch an opportunity to sell hundreds of cars go by to protect previous purchase prices ? they may reach the ERA or SPF buyers or guys like me, who is either going to sit pat with my $35k contemporary, or $100k + on the real deal. but probably will be pusuaded to part with another $10 to $15 to have that much more car

Could this hurt ERA and the other highend glass cars? probably. but that is business .

I also think from every thing that Ive seen written in the past two years ,The Kirkhams reputation as "straight up performers "is not in question and if they end up dominating the Cobra replica market well.........................on what grounds can you object?

Dont we all win?
