That comment inspired an intriguing question. If any of you found yourself $20 million richer (after taxes), would you buy Evan's car for his asking price? I mean, given all the things you might spend on including toys of all kinds, who besides JoeT would spend some of it to own Evan's late model Shelby Cobra?
My answer is no. I'm more into performance and uniqueness than name brand, so if I had lots of money to waste, I'd look for something different.

How much to build?
Question: couldnt a person build a similar or "better" cobra continuation for less than $250K? What is so special about CSX4206? Is his engine & parts off a 1960s Cobra? I remember Evan asking a "Dr Bob" for NOS cobra parts.

Don't forget Anthony here in SoCal. He has two or three originals, never restored, that he drives everywhere. Shows up at the Bob's Big Boy car show in Burbank often and I have run into him at other shows. He just hops in and drives them everywhere.

Jamie Massata who used to live here had 3 OR 4 original Cobras and 2 GT-350s and he races them at LagunaSeca. He used to drive them around here a lot also.

thanks, Sir!
I'd be happy with a Kirkham Cobra hot rod. no need for $1.5mil nostalgia. I wasn't born in the 60s
Donate the $$ to charity, like St Judes Children Cancer Research, NYC.

I would settle for a Triple Quesalupa. And if it makes you feel better, I'll sub in the low fat sour cream. |

You would be better off with just eating the full fat variety of sour cream alone and deleting the Quesalupa.

Hell yes. I'd own an original with a lot less than 20MM after taxes.
And still have a Cobra Hot Rod.
Joe's Garage - 20MM after taxes, you buy a Kirkham, then a Vette for the little lady, and you'd have 20k left over?

It's called fuzzy math 
In front of the $249K "auto upgrades", probably a yacht, a plane to fly to the yacht, a summer home on a lake, and a cigarette speed boat to get me to my favorite fishing spot |

No here as well, being "stupid rich" doesn't mean you have to be literally stupid and rich I'd buy Dave's blue Kirkham, get the wife a 2016 Z06 convertible, then take the extra $20K to renovate the garage  |
