Couple of points not mentioned - 1 how long do you want to wait for delivery - not sure about Superperformance but expect to wait a long, long time for one of the other "top" cars. 2-do you want a 427 style body or the 289? If you want the 289 you have fewer choices (manufacturers), some look like the original and some look like a cross bred 289/427 (the 289 also won't accomodate a big block unless you are 5'6" or sit on your feet.

$70k will get you into a lot of choices (ERA included) but probably not a "complete" Kirkham or Shelby.

Best advice above - go to a Cobra show - you'd be surprised how many makes make your list and how many don't (all a matter of taste as they say). There are lots of "used" Cobras with 5000 or fewer miles, some makes dominate the "used" market and some are extemely rare (may say something about "owner" satisfaction).

Don't forget to put aside $5k for title, tax, shipping & insurance. Then there's a trailer, tow package, tow vehicle, etc. etc. etc.
