Theres a FFR coupe on Cobracountry for just over $42k thats probably just as nice as the $70k car.....so you could probably have one built or build it yourself for that kind of money.........if you are willing to waite to build one or have one built....soooo???? lots to think about

there is really no comparison between the SPF and the FFR Daytonas. the SPf is much more finished and a good daily driver, the FFR more like a cobra. having said that, 70 K for an SPF with a so so motor is too high in this market.

The SPF's are factory built cars....
The FFR's are owner built UNLESS someone
like Levy raceimg builds it for you....
sssoooo you are going to find that there is a
huge difference in the fit and finish...SPF's are
not "KIT CARS"....FFR's are...
there are only about a half dozen companies that
produce a "Coupe Replica" SPF,FFR,Shell Valley,B@B, and a co. in Calif.
that i dont remember their name so your very limited on your choices...
i have seen several SPF's and they are nice cars but rather spendy IMO...
FFR's can be very nice cars depending on who built it...
B@B ??? i have not seen one yet so i have no opinion on their offering...
Shell Valley.....????? i will keep my opinion to myself......

I would talk to Clois Harlan here on the forum. He currently has 2 coupes in his garage. He is one of the most respected guys around here. He would be happy to visit with you.

I would agree with everything except the price point. You couldn't get my Coupe ( one of the first imported and 12K+ miles) away from me for less than $85K. I don't need to sell it and don't owe anything, so I'll run it into the ground before I take a beating on it. I bet a new one(turnkey minus) is right at $70K. Add engine,tranny,install kit and labor...I think $70K is a great price.

Coupe cost
Hi:
You will find that the only coupes now being made are Mark IIs (CSX 9XXX), available only from Shelby dealers. Last time I looked, their LIST is $99K for the roller, so a complete new one would cost you at least $120-130K. So, unless you can find an unsold Mark I roller or want to spend a bundle, you will have to buy used.
I think $70K is a good price; if I were to sell mine (402R, Brock instruments, all sorted), I would ask much more.

Dennis Olthoff's site usually has a used SPF Coupe for sale. I've seen them advertised at $75,000-$80,000. I don't know if it has sold, but there's one now advertised at $80,000, but you need to scroll down the page to view it:
http://www.olthoffracing.com/
Here's a SPF Coupe roller asking $70K, but I've seen it on eBay with a BIN price of $60K:
http://www.dmautosales.com/1965-supe...oupe--c-25.htm
I'm sure it hasn't sold because of the non-traditional color, because it has been for sale for a couple years, but you could always paint it. |

There is not a lot of difference between a 427 stroker and a 392 or 408 stroker unless you plan on racing. Great torque and top end. I wouldn't let 35 cu inches get in the way of buying one of the better built Coupes on the market. All the hard stuff has been done. Which transmission does it have?

$70 K is a very good price for a Superformance Coupe. They are very hard to find. The rollers were going for more than that. The superformance Coupe has a very high degree of finish, is very well built, and should hold it's value. I had a chance to ride in one - a few laps around the Gainesville track in '05 - very nice indeed. Levy Racing has built some of the Factory Five Coupes. That is another avenue to take - I believe they were priced in the low to mid 50's - different car altogether than the Superformance. But buying one "Levy Built" would be a good way to have one that I believe would hold value as well. Money aside, I would definitely prefer the Superformance Coupe - great car. Very flexible, daily driver capable, and at home on the track.

Thanks for all the great info, guys! I think I am going to fly to the dealer and check it out. These things do seem to be hard to find.
Clois- it has the tremec 5 speed. So, you say it's plenty quick? Given your history with the car, could we chat via email about some q's?

Sweaver - another comment on the Superformance Coupe. You cannot any longer BUY one from Superformance. Shelby has "taken over" the Coupe marketing, and the new ones are being marketed as CSX9000 series Shelby Coupes with a a significant upcharge on the price. This will also ensure that the 'earlier' Superformance Coupes will retain their value - and I believe they will also be listed in the Shelby registry. If I didn't have my ERA, I would be trying to track down a $70K Superformance coupe!!

Don't forget that the CSX9000's have been significantly upgraded over the SPF Coupe. It's not a "apples to apples" comparison IMHO.

Hey there...
Just completed the research and purchase process of a Brock Coupe (SPF).
$70k for a rousch 427 coupe is a great price. The car you are looking at has a crate motor.
I believe I know this car.
Feel free to write me off line jjgrice55@gmail.com
