I was starting to think I was hearing a broken record too.
I'm not sure anyone on this thread has said that they thought that they would consider getting an SAI roller for $160K, but to say that no one here should pay more than $50K for a Cobra replica is kind of silly. In case NewYorkGuy has not noticed, several people on this thread have Kirkhams and I am sure they have paid more than $50K for them and are more than happy with their cars and don't seem to mind having paid as much as they did for their cars. Although a Kirkham can be considered to be a Cobra shaped hot hod, it is a very good replica and with some rather expensive options and rare NOS parts, a Kirkham could be made to be pretty much an exact copy of an original 1960's Cobra to the point where you would need a expert to tell it apart from an original. You cannot do that with an SPF, ERA, etc. To someone who wants to truly replicate the experience of an original without the spending the price of an original, it can be done with a Kirkham (or an aluminum body SAI), so I think it can be more than than just a Cobra shaped hot rod. However, the majority of Kirkham owners seem to be content with the standard roller that weighs hundreds of pounds less than an original and is cooler in many ways.
