Shopping Superformance, prices?

They advertise them at those inflated prices all over the web, not many of them have sold for anything near those asking prices. Although, it really is a matter of numbers, just like the spammers that send out 1,000,000 spoofed emails a day telling people to "verify their accounts", all it takes is one to respond to make the scam work.

Most SPF's that I have seen marked as sold and pulled from the market are in the $42,000-$57,000 range. Are there exemptions to that rule, of course, but those are the truly exceptional cars at the top of their game. 427 Sideoiler powered, no small block, or 460 powered cars in that grouping, at least none that I have heard about.

Where does Bill criticize what you refer to as the "premium brand" label of the Shelby-licensed SPF? His opinions and comments were directed about the inflated prices of dealers/brokers. Bill then offered his opinion of current pricing based upon his vast experience of buying and selling 50+ Cobras (total WAG) in his lifetime. Juan, take a chill pill. No one insulted the SPF brand.

And yes, Dimis is correct. You do have an obvious "vested interest" in protecting the SPF brand, just like I have a vested interest in the brand that I own. By saying "you have nothing to gain" appears disingenuous, at least to me.

And if anyone is leaving the CC site, then it's those folks whose posts are misread, misconstrued, misunderstood, misinterpreted, etc. by others and get attacked for seemingly no reason at all. At least to this reader.

Forget about the WAG

Personally owned (as of today) 25 (SPF, Unique, ERA, Contemporary, FFR) and driven

Assisted the buyer and/or seller (paid or unpaid) 150+

As for people leaving this or any other site, it is more likely because their posts are not always agreed with. They couldn't handle not always being right, so they picked up their marbles and stormed out, usually with a "high drama rant", thus burning any bridges they had built in the first place. Sure, they will go back to the mailing lists, or the "members only" private forums and get patted on the back from those who drank the Koolaid, but in the back of their minds, they kick themselves in the behind for acting so poorly. If they do not, then perhaps they need to review their time here and ask themselves "what went wrong"

Personally, when I leave a particular forum/newsgroup, I just log out, and walk away quietly, no reason to make a high drama production out of it as I just might want to log back in at a future date, without any other drama than "where have you been". You just never know.

Now, I'm being criticized for taking a WAG on how many Cobras Bill has sold.

I'm done. I'm outta here.

I have to say that I think this particular site has more "thin skinned" folks than usual. On some of my professional (business related) sites, people are a lot meaner/tougher/nastier than they are here and you almost never see people pick up their ball and go home.

And then there are CC members who we can't get to leave this site, say, like, for instance, NYG. What will it take for NYG to his Nissan Leaf and go away.
