It will almost always cost more to build an original spec cobra unless you go exotic.

You're making an assumption since none of us have seen a cost per unit report from any manufacturer. Maybe SPF, BDR, ERA or whoever spend more on their bodies. Further, using ERA as an example, I think the ERA uses some very nice new parts. Just a guess, but then that's all any of us can do.
BTW, PANAVIA purchased his CSX 4985 from a dealer for right around $41K-42K.
