Most dealers have none in stock. If you want new then you have to wait, SPF is charging the same $$ or more for a roller. The markets bottomed, if you find a guy looking for a plastic replica with no ac, top, creature comforts for $50k plus he is recession/depression proof at the time of his purchase. I beleive in the "right" city you can sell a pristine SPF with a Roush, KC engine for mid 50's within a month. Remeber you only have to find one buyer for your car. A new compartive new SPF would be close to $70K. Either way a SPF is has depreciated exponentially LESS than BAC,C,NFLX,and half of all mutual funds out there!!!

Mine is for sale and if that chart is correct, mine is underpriced, and I have all the extra goodies on it.

This engine will walk your coyote builds, the DOHC cammer has more wins for ford in grand am than any another engine, also all the ford gt's at le mans use the cammer 5.0. Everyman is entilted to his opinion. (Ive sold 2 cobras with chevy motors in them there replicars not real shelbys remember)

As a fellow cammer owner, I believe you are missing the point of the other poster. As with your "chevy powered cobras", the cammer requires an owner who believes in thinking out of the box, one who wants something a bit different instead of the usual BB/SB Ford route. Again, nothing wrong with us having them, the point being that far fewer buyers are searching for the same thing we have. Nothing more, nothing less.

That's why I built it, I always try to think out of the box, i've had nothing but compliments on my car and have already turned down 2 plus $50,000 offers, so I dont see how wrong engine for this market, this is the kit market, anything goes when it comes to engine choice. (it's a better choice than a chevy motor, anything will sell for the right price)BB/SB FORD ROUTE, mine is a small block ford remember. (I do value everyones opinion).

One recent buyer told me when he bought "If my money is going down in value monthly, then I'm buying something that has value to me before I have none" and "I'm so d@mn tired of hearing about the economy that I'd rather hear sidepipes"
There are people who have the capacity to purchase such things and they are buying. Not in the quantity of five years ago, but enough to have filled up the order book at the factory and pretty well depleted dealer inventory. All of my GT40s are gone for now and I am down to one MK III. More are on order but the point is there ARE buyers out there and the right cars will sell for the right price.

Exactly.
And that's good news that folks are still buying SPF products in steady fashion. They make a great product. |
