a $6250.00 dollar slap in the face to anyone who ownes a replica Cobra. My question would be what happened to the original Cobra street car they came off of?.

I generally would not post something like this but I could not get over that comment...He had them on probably a year or so ago for I think 8k. The other issue I don't understand is there are probably 1000 times more people who have replica's then originals so his comment alienates 95% of his market of someone who would consider buying them. I am sure someone who wants them regardless of the comment will buy them but it's a crappy thing to say...I know in the scheme of things this World and Country are going through this is not important but it's worth a comment...

I'm a poser?
Hey! I'm a poser!
How cool is that? Better than being a prick, like the guy selling the over-priced wheels.
What a weenie!

These wheels would unlikely appeal to anyone with a replica, since it's highly unlikely anyone with a replica would pay $3,000+/wheel and hope for a 2nd pair to show up someday and if and when they do show up on the market, they'll likely be sold in a set of four. Sure, there might be one replica owner out there, but I think these wheels would appeal to the owner of a CSX3000 car. His market is very thin at that price level anyway, regardless.
428street, sure makes your buy from Fran Kress look like a deal, but having bought and sold many sets of wheels over the years, a set of four always seem to sell for less per wheel than singles and doubles. |

He says "Local pickup", guess he can't be bothered to ship them. So he's looking for a CSX3000 owner within driving distance of his house who needs to replace his "ugly" wheels with originals. Now THAT is a very short list of potential customers, VERY short. :)

Yeah, but he's sure generating a lot of traffic to his listing.

I'm not commenting on his price, it is what it is and pretty much what I paid Kress for mine. I wanted them and I bought them. I know I paid a lot of money for them but it was emotional. I got 5 rims.
As for the traffic you're correct and I thought about that before I posted originally but no one has bought them yet so I guess that speaks volumes.
I wonder if he has a Cobra. My guess is no. Isn't it nice to be a poser.

Hey Frank we meet some great people in this sport. He's a small minority at the waaaay other end to us. I think he's working on the principle it doesn't matter what they're saying as long as they're talking about him. I hope that type of advertising doesn't work for him as it doesn't deserve to.

Frank
W/O posers or what I would like to say "Those of us with a Champagne taste and beer budget" Cobras would be unknown for the most part.
Guess the wheels you have from Fran were a deal?

It's all good.

What the fellow doesn't realise is that the price of entry for a proper Kirkham - and to a slightly lesser extent ERA - today is close to (if not higher than) the adjusted equivalent of buying an original Cobra back in the day. Cobras weren't always rare, collectable automotive heirlooms; as a matter of fact they had a hard time practically giving them away at the end. The person who could buy a Cobra back then is the same "type" of person who can buy a high end replica today. Posers my arse.:MECOOL:
