Brands/builds most likely to hold value

If I ever sell mine (doubt it, this has been on my bucket list since 1972 or so!), I'd be surprised if I was able to recoup my purchase price. Like you said; these replicas are being built every day, brandy new, ready for waiting customers to say yes. There is no shortage of them. Want one? All one needs to do is pick up the phone and call a dealer. Boom, done. So unless something changes to this very ample supply and demand chain, prices for these will always remain relatively low and negotiable. I think we go into these replicar purchases with the understanding that it's a fun thing that costs money, like boats, etc.

I totally agree.

And one more point. When money has been literally free for the past 8 +/- years, the stock market nearly at an all time high, prices of luxury items like Cobra replicas, tend to be good. I think most of us have forgotten the last time interest rates were high. There will be another day, when interest rates rise, our Cobras won't be selling as well.
