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.

This statement is either made by someone who's a troll or delusional.
1. Our Cobra's are no more of a Cobra than your Nissan? Come on. Really? You truly believe that nonsense. That's just down right moronic or troll-like. And if you believed that nonsense, then why the F do you want to buy another Nissan shaped like a Cobra (just an entirely different shape)? Sorry, IMO, pure stupidity.
2. The SAAC World Registry, the "authoritiative" text that Evan uses/abuses, lists Kirkham's and actually calls them a Kirkham
Cobra.
3. If the Cobra market crashes, then a) the stock, bond and real estate markets will have likely crashed too and b) there will be buyers for everything at a discount. Also, the markets have crashed regularly since 1929, where are prices today? If you're waiting for a $25,000 SPF, then you'll die an old man, who NEVER owned a Cobra.
4. "...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?"
What's your thinking here? What are you saying? Please don't preach to others about educating their children. This is probably the worse statement you've uttered here on CC IMO. You're telling us how we should or shouldn't teach (values, no less) our children? Am I speaking to Arne Duncan, the U.S. Secretary of Education? Or did he resign and someone nominate you? Please just stop.
