BTW, Kirkham, who supplies the aluminum bodies to Shelby, offers their rollers starting at $80,000.

I'm glad my nature is to be happy, no thrilled, with my cheapo fiberglass SPF. I recall back in the day a fiberglass Corvette was just perfect.

Interestingly I was looking at an article recently that had this information in it: 2013 Acura ILX Base price: $25,900 Fully loaded price: $34,400 2012 Honda Civic sedan Base price: $15,955 Fully loaded price: $26,900 The ILX and Civic are built on the same platform, so essentially they are the same car with different features for prices between $15,955 and $34,400. The top end of the line is more than double the price of the bottom end. It looks like Shelby is just following the rest of the industry as far as pricing goes. |

These hot rods are basic cars: fast gas engines, tubular frames, no fancy gizmos; they shouldn't cost $200K++, or $150K, or $80K. In 1962, an original cobra was about $6-7K which equals to about $50-55K today. So $50K should get u into the driver's seat for a simple go fast fun hot rod. It is simply nostalgia that these hot rod makers are selling, and I don't believe the X or Y car enthusiast generation has any connection to these hot rod shapes and will pay $200K out the showroom door for old car technology. |

End of story! |
Because its a Shelby Cobra of which yours is a replica. End of story
That's right.....but I drove mine this morning....and yesterday...and the day before. And I didn't have a stick up my @$$ worrying if got a rock chip or a little kid spilled ice cream on it and ruined my massive 'investment' while I was in the grocery story picking up something for dinner. When I got into this I worried some that my fakey-do 'Cobra' wasn't 100% (or even 75%) authentic but after having it for 10 years and enjoying the hell out of it and encountering people that spend all their time waxing theirs or trying to convince others how much mo better their car I realize how much more of a bargain mine has turned out to be. |

I wouldn't sell my car for anything under $200,000.00 and have had interest expressed for numbers north of that. Keep laughing. :LOL: |

Blah, blah, blah LOL |

Not trying to convince anyone how much better my car is. Nope. Just keeping the facts straight from those trying to drag it down. I don't know who you met but it wasn't me. Oh, btw I can clearly sell my Shelby Cobra for substantially more than my initial purchase investment. As to the future? Who knows. I can say this with confidence that my Shelby is more likely to appreciate substantially in value in years to come over any FFR or other fake Cobra. If there were a bet on that I know where the smart money would be. LOL. Hey. I'll alway be hear with my popper scooper to pick up the CC peanut gallery turds. Keep 'em coming. |

Maybe you ought try "listening" instead of just "hearing". There is a difference but likely beyond your grasp as well. :rolleyes::LOL: |

Also, your Ford GT will be worth $1,000,000 quickly. That's one of the cars my generation of car geeks will buy for big dollars and that will be a future kit car. |
You are sooooo easy (and fun) to bait. :LOL:
And I'm glad you actually drive your ca, be a shame to let it sit. |
Quote:
Only the future will tell. I do know for a fact and have had interest expressed for my Cobra in excess of $200k but not selling. Well in excess of my purchase $. I agree 100% on the FGT. |
Evan is the Forrest Gump of Club Cobra.

:eek:Ok too many directions that this thread recently went.
First off I'm sure NYG well knows about supply and demand. So what has the demand been recently? And what other factors can be taken into consideration. All the models being made..50th anniversary, slabside...50th anniversary FIA...S/C...289..... There is supply manipulation by the way. Not sure if it was Mark IV that posted or someone else. I thought the rollers are priced very high if these figures are accurate. He thought so also because he knows the costs involved. I mean if a roller is now 160,000 I just don't see the justification in that price. I might know a little about costs in R & D and production in the aerospace industries and for what is in a roller I see a big chunk being paid for air. If you want one sure go ahead and enjoy. For me to justify to write a check I just could not. Oh thanks a lot Real 1 we have a new term....fake cobra.:eek: Why are some of you members always talking about ass and a$$holes...seems like some of you have your mind there. Just an observation don't take offense. :LOL: |
