I don't monitor the auctions as I used to, but most recent information I have on a comparable car with equal value engine and transmission and identical options it is not all that unusual to see anywhere from $25,000 to $45,000 diference in the sale of the two cars.

Not saying one is $45,000 better or more expensive to begin with. Just that that is what the resale market has been saying they are worth.

That is before Shelby announced lower priced versions of the car. that may have helped lower the market a little but also for the other makes as well.

This is a terrible market we are in right now. More sellers than buyers will not allow anyone to get a good grip on what any car really is worth. I suppose if you subscribe to the old adage," they are worth what someone is willing to pay" they are not worth much.

Then there is the other axiom. "There is an A$$ for every seat". With that in mind, if someone manages to sell a SPF for $82,000 to someone once, it does not mean that is what they are worth any more than one's inability to sell a Kirkham for anymore than $70,000 means Kirkhams are worth less than that.

It just keeps on changing for anyone to get a good feel for the values of these cars.
