I bet you'd find 100x the Mustangs available as compared to the solid Black ERA 427 SC Cobra, don't ya think? i.e. routine auto business economics (supply vs. demand).  |
High volume - low volume - still the same principal. By the time I got down to looking at specific color Mustangs, with specific color leather interior, with Navigation and automatic (5 speeds much more common but wife said no) and low miles in nice shape - I was basically looking at two cars in the State using Craigs list and Auto Trader.com. Many times more folks out there looking for new/used Mustang GTs, Corvettes, what-have-you, than 427 Cobra cars.
