It's interesting that two reasonable people can see something entirely opposite. I see painted Cobras as being far more common than naked alloy cars. And polished alloy even less common. Between the fiberglass offerings from CSX, BDR, FFR, ERA, SPF, Unique, Arntz, and the many others over the past 30-40 years, I would think the 600 alloy cars, some naked others painted, scattererd across the US would be uncommon.

Tim (tkb289) is right. You could buy a lot of things for the extra $30K or whatever the amount. In fact, you get a Cammer engine for your fiberglass car, but then, you wouldn't have an alloy car either, if alloy is important to you.
