I agree. That was a Roush show car and I believe the sticker was $105K or more? There's $3k in the air cleaner and valve covers  |

SP02898, which is a 2008 model, had been for sale on Cobra Country in Aug 2010 at an asking price of $82,000. It sold at B-J Las Vegas for only $59,000 ( plus 10% buyer's premium). Ouch!

Not much...or at least not what I thought was a " priced to sell". Now, my car may be hurt by a small block, a unpopular color and high miles (10,000). As a small collector, whose garage has limited space, I churn the collection every couple years to create space for cars I intend to buy.. In August, I advertised a half dozen cars with the intent to actually sell three or four...soooo....three have sold and I will likely keep the others including the Superformance. Those cars (SPF) are just a ball to drive, talk about animal spirits. I drive it in the same weather and same roads I would a motorcycle and it is still a thrill. Knowing what I know now, if I could have found a used car in the right color and with the right equipment (for me) that is the way to go. But nothing is practical about a $50,000 toy so get what you want to see and drive, don't compromise for a few thousand bucks..my two cents.

Barret Jackson and auctions like them are not the best place to sell without a large haircut. The bidders there who are not buying the promoted, high dollar stuff are generally bottom feeders looking for a steal. The presentation at an auction like BJ on a car like an SPF is poor at best. They will talk up a Camaro Z26 clone or "tribute" car built from a six cylinder but dis on the SPF as a "kit".
One of those types of auctions would be my last resort if I wanted to sell. You sell under market, pay the fees and then wait for your money. Yeah, sounds like a good deal to me!

Need to count the buyers fee because that's what he paid. Not the best environment by any means to sell a replica vehicle but it demonstrates what you can get in a "gotta sell it now" situation.
Did not see a lot of cars "get what they're worth" at LV BJ this year. |

While it's not a build for me, it's beautifully done nonetheless.
I'll always have a soft spot for black cars with black sidepipes.

I agree Rod.
(I might,....do our organization's 2-seat sprint car in the black theme. I wonder if I should make a post about our goal of stopping texting while driving and ask what type of theme/colors/logo's etc. making the black on black one to choose from, It's popular right now) ?

An FE equipped SPF sold here in MN this spring for $60K - private party sale. It was several years old and at least 2 owners deep.

It is too bad you don't show the engine HP or mileage. I've wanted to have like a Kelley Blue Book for all Cobras and have factors for miles, engine, condition, etc. I have a 2007 SPF and think it is worth north of $60k which matches pretty well with your $66k figure for a 2007. I have almost 12k miles and have road rash, etc..... Thanks for the data tabulation and sharing.

Actually I do have those data, Ward.
Of the 30 model year 2007 SPFs in my spreadsheet, 10 were equipped with 427 strokers (351W) like yours. The average asking price for those 10 SPFs was $68,900 and the average mileage was 3,660. Prices ranged from $55,000 to $79,999 and mileage ranged from 500 to 17,500.

I'm surprised to see of the 30 SPFs, 20 had big blocks and only 10 had small blocks. How much more were the BB than the SB? I take it you don't differentiate between a stroked 351 and a Dart racing small block. I bought mine in March of 2010 for $55k with 1,700 miles. Looks like I got a relatively good deal.... |

Of the 30 MY2007s, only eight of them were big blocks, mostly 460s. The other 22 were small blocks, mostly 351W strokers of various displacements (402, 408, 418 and 427).
The big block prices were skewed because of one particular car where the owner was asking a huge amount: $110,000.
Once you remove this outlier, there was really no price difference, BB vs SB.
I haven't been cataloguing whether the cars had Dart blocks.

Good Cobras in this price range seem to be up about 5K or more across the board since 3 years ago.

Thank You
I am trying to sell my car and this is very helpful to come up with realistic pricing. I see pricing all over the place, especially at the TV auctions. Any other input is greatly appreciated!

Was in a Facebook discussion last year with someone trying to sell his car with no luck. He kept lowering and lowering the price, and most of us told him he was going in the wrong direction. If you ask too little, most people will wonder what is wrong with it and not even take a look at it.
My issue with the TV auctions is that you get very little information besides the engine. They rarely tell you the manufacturer or the year it was completed, which does seem to make a difference. SPFs seem to hold their value well.
