Cobra Country web site is the place to monitor cobra replica offerings. And then jus do some "googling" as you never know what will pop up. Found my first cobra .. a used Unique small block FIA car that way. Sold it 3 years later on Cobra Country. Buy with resale in mind .. one of the solid build chassis that don't leave it up to every "kit builders" interpretation. Maybe an older ERA or Superformance .. those are the ones that I feel comfortable would do the "daily driver" trick as they are well built cars from chassis on up. The small block cars are (in my opinion) outstanding as you can - with a 5 speed tranny - have fun going through the gears yet still attain 20+ MPG on the highway in 5th gear. Their HP comes on in a higher rpm band so cruising at 80 mph on the highway is a 2200 rpm situation (depending on your 5th gear)...and when you want some hp and acceleration ... "depress pedal".
