The last MKII Daytona Coupe that I know of was delivered last year to a person in Texas. All in all, he had about $110,000 plus delivery cost in the roller. This was also after a 2 year wait for the delivery. You add installation cost plus engine and transmission cost to the roller, one can easily get to over $150,000-$175,000 for the Daytona Coupe. MHOP is that SPF has priced this car out of what most people are willing to pay. The above is why the used Daytona Coupes prices are rising. Hillbank sold a used MKI at SEMA in the above price range.

Superformance does not price the car, Shelby does. It is not a Superformance product, it just happens to be built in the same factory that Superformance sources it's products from.

Fair enough, but that said, seeing as SPF manufacture it, don't they set the wholesale price to Shelby?
So a little bit of fat for them a lot of fat for Shelby and there you go... |

No, SPF DO NOT manufacture it, Hi Tech Automotive does. Hi Tech and SPF are not the same, HT is the factory and SPF is the brand. They are no longer sister companies and only have a "supplier/purchaser" relationship.
Shelby sets the price point on the coupe. Obviously the cost factors in but Superformance has no control over that.

I had that statement in a composing window. Hi Tech Automotive is a contract manufacturer, they have built cars for Noble and others in the past.
(Edit: Ownership tree redacted - HiTech and SPF are separate)

To set the record straight, Superformance is completely and separately owned, operated and managed in the US while Hi-Tech Automotive group is completely and separately owned and operated and managed in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The two are not even remotely one in the same, however they do of course share a mutual business relationship in the fact that Hi-Tech is the sole manufacturing source for Superformance.
The confusion may come from the past prior to 2005 when Hi-Tech and Superformance were one in the same. However, Hi-Tech owner Mr. James Price wanted to focus more on the manufacture of the cars, not in the marketing of them. Mr. Lance Stander who already had a Superformance dealership in California purchased the Superformance Brand and all licensing and marketing operations that went with it in 2005. Hi-Tech remained the supplier so while the product was unchanged, the separation of ownership has.
Superformance Owners Forum's SUPERFORMANCE NEWS
Hope that helps straighten out some of the confusion.

If I am reading correctly, Hi-Tech builds Cobra replicas and sells it to Superformance who then re-sells the same car/roller as a Superformance "licensed" Shelby Cobra?
Is it possible to buy a new Hi-Tech Cobra from the factory, or they just don't sell directly to customers, per business arrangement with Superformance?

No, they don't. Once upon a time, yes, but for the last NINE years that is NOT the case.

Well then I stand corrected!
Why thank you and Apologies... 
But really my point remains the same... Doesn't it?
A little fat here, a lot more fat there.
Ps. Fwiw then - on your logic, do I need to take back every time I've said SPF make a good roller? .
