I agree with DanEC with the following comments.... I bought a used Superformance for $55k 3 years ago. The original owner had at least $80k in it when he purchased/assembled it in 2007. I think I could sell my Cobra for $60k today. The price of rollers will probably increase about with inflation, putting upward pressure on used Cobra prices. I would expect similar results for any well made replica in excellent condition. New replicas are in perfect condition. If I had made my Cobra out of a Factory 5 kit, it would be a piece of junk because I'm no machinist and the Cobra would lose value quickly. I know a Boeing machinist...His Factory 5 Cobra is better than any Cobra I have seen and I expect it is worth more than your average F5. I don't know about how a high mileage replica Cobra would fare. Basically, if the Cobra is in pristine condition, it will hold its value. No normal production car will hold value unless it is a collector item. I don't think vehicles really become collector items until they are 30+ years old. Cars are for fun, not investments. Jay Leno didn't get rich with his auto collection. You won't either.....
