Great answers guys.
I have told quite a few that is is between $20,000 and $100,000 some get the point, some don't. I have also told some that it is worth about half a house.
I really like the $15 per pound answer. While I have never related the cost to a new Vette, I have told a few that it is somewhere between a Civic and a Ferrari. When they ask if it is an original I simply ask if I look like a millionaire.
Don't get me wrong, if someone is genuinely interested in building a Cobra replica and wants to know what they are getting into, I spend a lot of time explaining the cost of the various components and how it all adds up. The people I get pi$$ed at are ones that don't know a Cobra from a Vette but they seem to think it is perfectly OK to ask about the cost right off the bat.
I'm glad to hear that I am not the only Cobra owner that is having to answer this rude question. 
Regards
Wayne
