Sometimes they are donor (e.g. used) but many times also new components from those brands.

Your budget is going to limit your selection to only a few options, e.g. something started but not finished, already completed basic build, etc. Nothing wrong with that. Just be patient. There are some good deals out there. New of any brand is probably out of reach.

I feel sure they were just talking about sub frames or something. I saw Corvette frames mentioned in a couple of ads but these cars also had Chevy engines which I have no interest in at all. A Cobra just loses something when you start doing that...in my opinion. I'm not trying to get anything started there.
One particular car I was drooling over and it sold for $24,500 is this one from eBay. It has a real 427 side oiler and looks impressive to me anyway: Replica/Kit Makes : Cobra 427SC Replica/Kit Makes : Cobra 427SC | eBay
It's too late now but does anybody know anything about it? Based off what you see, do you think this was a good deal?

No, I certainly don't expect to get anything close to new. But there does seem to be an abundance of these cars for sale and very few of them selling. Anyway, I still have to get the funds together and I will certainly be patient. I appreciate the input from you guys.
Thanks,
