Nice but overpriced Contemporary on Ebay
 
Nice car but a little stretched on the price.

$145,000 for a Contemporary? That's the funniest damn thing I've heard in a long time.:LOL: Don't get me wrong, I love Contemporary's, I've got a decent one myself in the middle of a rebuild / restoration. But $145K........with bolt on wheels that look like they came off of a '66 GTO no less.:LOL: All I can say is I hope he gets it, I'll finish mine up ASAP and throw it on the market right behind his. :rolleyes::cool::LOL:

The "1" was a typo, I bet. How is your build going?

maybe the last 0 was the typo.......14,500 maybe?

No, I think that's a fair $45k car. But, there seems to be a trend in Cobra pricing to move your price higher after it doesn't sell at a a lower price. Now frankly I don't quite understand the rationale behind that, but there's probably some psychological marketing nuance that simply escapes me.:3DSMILE:

$145K, yeah, and I just saw a flying pig go by. That price is SO far out of reality it's beyond a joke. It's well into the range of the seller being a complete idiot.

You can buy a genuine SHELBY for less! Agreed, drop the "1" and it's in the ball park for price.

That roll bar looks awfully short.

A dealer here in Orange County was trying to sell a forced induction Special Edition SPF that had both Roush and Shelby signatures for $125k about a year ago. After reducing the price every month, that same car was recently listed for $65k.

Oh well, all they need is one sucker!

The Cobra was previously owned by Michael Dunn. Rumor has it that he used it to chase Artemus and James.:rolleyes:

Well I'll give anyone a deal on mine for just $100,000.00 and it has knock offs lol

Danr55 09-15-2009 03:20 PM
Well, mine doesn't have knockoffs, but I'll deal at $80K.. Might even consider offers in the $65K range.

What is this guy thinking? It looks like a nice motor, but not that nice!

RON N BKFLD 09-15-2009 04:20 PM

You see this strategy employed so often. In fact, it's currently being employed by one of our well-known CC members, but I won't mention his name. :)

My gosh you're right. Now that you've pointed it out to me, it does seem like he has been moving his asking price, as Johnny Horton would sing, "North, to Alaska....":p

It's something like a 45% premium over his lowest price. Obviously no rush to sell right now.

I'm still disappointed that no one on this forum remembers Dr. Loveless. :(
