New alloy CSX roller's are $160,000. There's money to be made here.

Kinda makes sense to buy used. I should have learned that lesson.
First, is the kirkham ad on Ebay accurate that the build cost $180k and there is a one year wait? If so seem like a fair price to moi.

Detailing a build is expensive and time consuming. Time is also money. Accuracy ads tremendous value to these cars. I think the price on CSX 4389 is a great price though. Hillbank has two Cobras offered for $200k.

Pricing varies seller to seller with all cars based on the specific car and degree of motivation on the buyers part.

I see SPFs advertised for close to $80k now. Really? ...for a pretend Cobra? Why should I pay $80k for a Spf fake Cobra when I could buy a beautifully built FFR which is as nice , actually nicer in some respects and just as fake for $40k less. Hmm. Those Spf's are way over priced. I can buy a beautiful detailed and built ERA for less too which is without question head and shoulders above a Spf.

Rodknock I think you missed your calling. You should be a Cobra pricing consultant.
