Not that it somehow justifies the price increase, but the market seems to be good for Cobra replicas. And IIRC, the Kirkham's are sold out until next Spring.
Bill Malone's top-of-the-line black fiberglass CSX4000 with a Cammer sold for $110K at auction last year at this time. I heard he later bought it back for less.
Personally, I'd rather buy a 1965-1966 GT350 for the money, if staying within the Shelby marque. If considering comparison buys outside the marque, then the list of possibilities is large.

Last I saw asking prices for aluminum bodies Shelbys were hitting near$200,000.00. I also saw Shelby Dealer advertising looking to buy aluminum bodies Shelbys.
Bill: Ok...sure...If you have some actual verifiable sales figures for aluminum bodied Continuation Cobras please post. Your figures are WAY off according to my source who restores originals and still finishes some continuation cars.
Tcrist: Saying you still end up with a Kirkham is like saying when you buy an original Shelby you still end up with an AC  There is clearly a vast price difference between the two as to both original vs. AC and Continuation vs. Kirkham.

I have two comments. First, if the demand exceeds the supply by a large enough margin, I suppose anything is possible. Second, I used to see guys by the side of the road selling velvet Elvis paintings and I couldn't imagine who was buying. Again, I suppose anything is possible. .... All this says more about why I never sough a career selling stuff than it does the value of Shelby's version of a Cobra replica.

There are two advertised on Cobra Country for $195,000 and $199,000. Granted, the selling price might end up being less but I think Evan is in the ballpark.

As you already know, they can "ask" whatever they want. I know of one listed down under for $500,000, does not mean he will get it.
