The best advice I can give is to know what you want on the car BEFORE you start looking. With all the differences in Cobras out there, you really need to know what you want as most Cobra's look good, but it is what is under the body that is more important. The first thing to decide is how you are going to use the car. Will is just be for street driving on the weekends or more serious usage. Do you want a solid axle or IRS? Do you want a big block or small block? Do you know what the differences will be between a big block and small block in performance and handling? What kind of steering and suspension package do you want. Do you want pin drive or 5 lug replica wheels? Tire type, cooling system, engine components, roll bar, clutch type and pressure, etc. etc. etc, ad nausium. There are so many choices and differences in Cobra replica's that unless you know exactly what you want, it is likely you will be unhappy with your car. Now for SPF cars they are very good cars and I have seen them go for under $40K to over $80K, so again, know what you want, because even they have many different choices. There are also many other good brands out there. Your price range will have a large affect on what you will be able to get, but buying a Cobra based just on price would be a huge mistake. Know what you want and then look for a car that meets your needs and specifications. Looking without knowledge of these cars is a foolish way to start. Talk to owners of these cars, read as mush as you can about them and make your list. Then start looking. You will ultimately be far happier with the choice you make if you know what you want before you plop down a lot of cash.
