I don't know, these cars just look fake to me.  . I'd rather see that three hundred and fifty thousand clams go to feed starving children.  |

That brings a point.
Why aren't one of these "special editions" auctioned off for the CS Children's Foundation? Don't hear much about that foundation anymore since CS passed.
Maybe the new regime decided it's a "non-performing asset".

Well, posted on that other "Special Edition" thread, allegedly $50,000, or 10% of $500,000 sales price, of the "Resurrection" Competiton newly-created 3000 series Cobras will go to charity. I can't remember if it's the CS Heart Foundation or what.
They are a public entity, so they do have to make a profit at some point. Can't be giving it away too often. |

With a roller coming in at $350k, a decent engine, trans, and installation for it all, along with a little bug-shakeout, is going to crest $400k.  I find that to be bordering on the obscene.  |

Why are you so focused on money? As they say, if you have to ask.....
And anyway, as the press release states:
“This is a rare opportunity to snag a piece of performance history.”
How often do you get a chance to go back and right a wrong? It's a Limited Special Edition and you rarely get a chance to return to the 1960's.
I ought to write this fluff for a living.  |

So will the new Ford gt. And the ferrari 588 and the McLaren 675 etc. The difference is you can get one of these whereas the new gt is being out of unobtanium.

The new gen 3 FGT will be trading hands between $750 and $1 mil. Gen 2 prices will rise concomitantly.
The new Mclaren and 588 have a much larger resale market than the coupes.
