Ok, this is just a curiosity piece because I look from time to time on cobra country and ebay and CC of course. And yes, occasionally I do buy. I've owned 4 Shelby replicas since 2000, a shell valley, 2 SPF cars and 1 contemporary. I came across a 4 year old SPF on cobra country with 12,000 miles at $72,000 this week. The engine was a 427 small block rousch. My question is this, how much is a roller selling for?? I am thinking that it's around $40k brand spanking new. A Rousch 427 and TKO 600, installed, figure $20k? so call it a $60k car that is completely replicable from any SPF dealer. How is it an expectation to drive the car for 4 years, and sell it for $12k more than the cost of a new car??

Perhaps I'm totally mistaken in my estimates, could a new roller SPF car go for $60k? Does a fully done SPF car now sell for $80k? Curious if any fellow CC members can enlighten me.
