these hot rods are the ultimate men's jewelry and the Shelby Cobra is King. Everything else is a hot rod.

Now your Hot rod shaped Cobra (SPF, Kirk, BDR, whatever) is no more Cobra than my Nissan. I mean what lesson are you teaching your children, family, by opening your garage and showing them a hot rod cobra?

"Kids, stay in school, get a job, work hard and some day, u can buy a hot rod...shaped like a Cobra?"

The guys who build their hot rods in their garages with their own hands and sweat- I respect that. They got the hobby right. Again, a hot rod Cobra should not cost more than $50K.

Suppy & demand? Yea, i guess for a very small niche market willing to pay $160K for a Shelby Cobra roller and wait 2 years to build++. U find buyers at wine & cheese car events like at Pebble Beach or Amelia island but those buyers are getting older/dying every year and their sons/grandsons have been educated to spot fake cars and avoid bad investments.

I think the Cobra market will crash. The winners will be the guys who have original Cobras, or purchased continuations Cobras years ago, not now in 2014.

I wait 5 more years and I should be able to pick up a late model (2013), low miles (they all have low miles) SPF hot rod for about $25K.
