Price of a Superformance Daytona Coup Roller

[frankym]

I was asked yesterday what the price of a Daytona Coup goes for. I know it's more than the MkIII. A fully decked out SPF MKIII roller with all the bells and whistles is around 58-60k. With top dog motor and tranny and a few extras e.g. accu sump, halon, fuel injection etc, installation, mid to high 80s is likely the cost new. Today I see someone "fairly" pricing the SPF Daytona Coup with over 7,000 miles at @$160k. Are these coup rollers selling for $85k more than a MKIII? Curious why that car would be that much more expensive. Maybe it's a lower volume car with fewer alternatives and the market is there for it, but the premium seems a bit crazy. Does anyone know the cost of the SPF Brock roller?

How do you figure mid high 80's

Aluminum block fe with a carb is 19k
Trans with clutch 3k easy likely more with shipping
Tires can get pricey figure 400 each plus mounting plus shipping
Fuel injection 8k guessing
Dry sump, halon no guess.

I m thinking 100k by the time you are done.

ok, let's forget the fuel injection, tires come with the car, so figure more like 90k. trying to understand the coup premium of 75k over a SPF MK3

Because they can!

I know it sounds like a smart a$$ed quip, but there really isn't that much that goes into these cars to justify the final $$$ expense. Its not like they've spent big on R&D for engine development, or traction control, launch control, power windows, central locking, cruise control, ABS power steering, blah blah blah... Even copying the shape would come cheaper than trying to create from scratch when compared to an OEM design that goes through the rigmarole.

Basically that's the price of exclusivity - they know it and if you want it, you pay! imho

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...

[Detroit Bill]

Can't help you there does not appeal to me.

Unless it's old stock, there are no more SPF Daytona Coupe rollers being made. Shelby now makes them as their CSX9000 series. And the rollers are muy expensivo.

Kirkham also makes alloy Daytona Coupe rollers, but those are also muy expensivo.

I like the clip reminds me of a comment my wife made years ago when she use to sell real estate. She told me she hated hobby shoppers that wanted to look at houses they couldn't afford and never intended to buy.

I just left the l.a. roadster show and spoke with a sales Representative from Hillibank and was told I could buy a fiberglass or an aluminium Daytona roller. The aluminium roller has a two year wait and a cost of 500k.

Maybe it's just me, but that seems a little much.

• Shell Valley: Daytona Coupe Replica
• Factory Five: Type 65 Coupe - Factory Five Racing

Hmm, why not save yourself 325k and get a Kirkham coupe instead: Kirkham 289 Coupe

Hmmm, I was given a number quite a bit below that for the alloy version last fall. Delivery time was thought to be a little over a year. At that time there were only two alloy coupes built.

I thought that price was unreasonably high. I asked him twice to be sure I heard him right.
