Just watched the Speed Channel's Monteray Coucourse de Elegance show...amazing how many cars considered the best in the world are no longer made but still affectionately considered the greatest. As I recall, original Cobra's are among that group.

My point was that those who love Kirkhams (and who would not) will certainly profit by the rareity (sp), but that (remember the Avanti) is not necessarily the best business model.

I understand you can still buy an Avanti (new production) in Canada but I could be wrong. I suspect there is a thriving market for the $100k cars, but it's limited (looking at how many on the forum own them anyway). And few, if any, appear to own more than 1.

Bolt on - why as I recall the original 289s had wire wheels, what happened to those??? If you ever cleaned or tuned a set you'd know, the rest won't.

Maybe just change the model designation - instead of Cobra it could be an AC? Just kidding, but you're looking at two perspectives here - those who own your car (or own several) and those who do not. Those that own you car probably won't keep you in business.
