none of these cars are invesments no matter the brand , they are depreciating assets/hobbies. just like lost dollars spent at the country club or boat club or on boats or planes or other toys . cobra replicas, barring any major enigne or trans rebuild/replacement , will depreciate and cost you less in 3 or more yrs than a lincoln or caddy ( or 99% of any regular cars) bought new today and sold in one yr. insurance is cheaper if thru a collector car insur co, maintenance is usually cheaper, cost of ownership annually is cheaper than newer 'civilian' daily driver cars. just go 4 it if you can afford it and have many smiles to the miles. make an offer on the one you want, if they pass, then move on to the next one til ya get a happy compromise that works for you. there are many for sale, as toys are the first things that go when economic times are soft. and yes, plan on it being worth less when you go to sell it, nothing is free and fun things usually cost money to enjoy and appreciate . bill.
