The allure of a Shelby Cobra is evidenced by the long lines of guys waiting for theirs and many of whom parted with replicas they loved for a Shelby.
There is an intangible with a Shelby that others can't provide. Many of those that don't have or can't afford Shelby's knock them. Many who knocked them in the past as just an expensive replica and all you get is the "name" are now on line for a 4700 series car.
Dem are da facts.
The name does add value. Whether they will appreciate in value...who knows.
I agree. Don't buy it as an investment. They may never go up in value and if they do it will be in the far future. They will hold their value though.
Buy the car because you want it, love it and want a car that is part of the Shelby family and has its history linked to SAI and the man himself if you find value in that. If not, buy and ERA for much less.
