I agree that some areas of the market is saturated and the economy is soft. It seems like there is a huge selection of SPF, FFR and even CSX4000 and 6000 cars out there. Of course there is as they are factory built and the factory does not stop producing as overhead needs to be covered. If you look at other companies like Bolus, Sagebrush, Panel Craft, HiTech, Acton Custom, HRE and Ross Henry's new FIA direction there seems to be alot of interest.

A friend of mine came by a few months ago and asked about a car which he bought, an EM. I told him that he needs to define his taste in these cars before he buy's.
1) Purest
2) Just want a Cobra
3) Hot rodder looking for crazy build

He quickly stated "Just want a Cobra" well that market is saturated..... This type of buyer will be happy with "a Cobra", that is great and it leaves a wide range of choices at all kinds of $ing. The pureest finds less on the market and when one reaches the market they usually move. That said the purest also is specific, myself I like the slabside cars. That is very limiting since there are few to be had and when you add the competition package there are very few in existance.

Of course there are a host of other considerations like color, int color, overall quality, frame, suspension and motor. A well done accurate car with the right/correct appointments is really not all that plentiful. If you take a bright blue ERA 427 car add yellow stripes and give it a tan interior with a great SB it may not move. Take a Panel Craft aluminum car with traditional Guardsman blue, blk int, Smiths, Lucas lighting, OEM accessories and a 427 SO and you will probably not sit on it too long. At least that is my opinion.......

There are a ton of cars available however when you become specific to your model and keep $ing in range with the market you will find success. Do something to set your car apart from the masses, it will do wonders........
