Hi Guys,

The question of what the Coupes will be worth in the aftermarket....After the builder/owner has invested more than any of us should in a toy........is still to be answered.

I've seen them advertised for between $50k - $85k for the FFR version and saw first hand the SPF version that sells for $63k as a roller. There are the one off Contemporary versions selling for $85K. The real number will come form what somebody will pay for one of these used. Given the historical perspective of the Mega dollar six original coupes and that these cars replicate them .......I believe these will keep a higher price point, the fact that very few people recognize them for what they are may mitigate that.

BTW the SPF was nice saw it up close and personal at the SFO car show.....but, I was not impressed based on the work done on my Coupe by DV and what I see in Russ's car...for the same $63K you can do a lot better starting with the FFR kit and adding in what you want your Cobra Coupe to be....and have an engine in it.

As we go forward in time there will be settling out of the price for these cars and what they will sell for, the same as what has happened with the roadster. Depending on the fit, finish, options (A/C, Sound Systems Etc.) ride characteristics, performance there will a stratification low, medium, high....but the low will start at the $50k range.

One mans humble opinion,

Tony R.
