I know that in manufacturing all raw materials have increased at a rate of 15-20% over the last year. The extra 10% is probably the actual rate increase and the other portion is probably the RM side of things?

Either way, $70k does open the door for smaller shops to compete in the same market. With the correct suspension (Non-billet) $85,000 is the starting point.

Also keeps their previous customers cars in a value niche. Makes the cars a strong 6 figure cost of membership. If the price scares you there a host of glass cars available.

Remember it costs big $ to make a great replication or precise reproduction of the original. These cars can range from $20k - $125k, the more accurate the car the more the cost of membership. This will probably will not change anytime soon thus allowing for all walks of life to enjoy this sickness.......

With the Shelby CSX increase it was a must to raise the roller price, especially when Kirkhams make the shell, I talked with the Kirkhams about it, if they could they would give there cars away, thats just the kind of people they are, but with the cost of materials on the rise, the roller price must suffer, but you can't argue with quality, at either price it is one hell of a car.
