Some people have a short attention span, temporary financial issues, want to try another type car, or just love building them. There are some who see the search as the fun part and that's it....they get it and they sell it shortly thereafter.

Have two friends that bought 'em, sold them, bought other hot rods or sports cars for a while,... and they're back with Cobras again. Now they're contemplating selling them yet again try other cars or other Cobras - all in one years time. ... Then you get some people that are actually addicted to buying and selling, whether they make a profit or loss...like once the search is over, its over. Almost like gambling in a way. Possibly other issues going on there...

However, if one just likes Cobras and thats it... I tend to believe if you can build the Cobra you really like and want, you'll have a better chance of keeping it longer; especially if you build it yourself. Maybe if one buys slightly under what one can afford, its possible that person could keep searching or hopping around to different Cobras or other cars for who knows how long... If one overbuys....may start feeling guilty for having too much money in their car and go back to a simpler less-expensive Cobra replica because they are worried about it. Its fun to watch car people do their thing... checking in every once in a while to see what's next?

Seems like the human mind can drive car people crazy sometimes! I know I'm always looking at other Cobras because its fun to see whats out there, and what people are building or buying and trying.
