Well I have bought and sold 6 Cobras over the last 18 years and I didn't feel like I was getting cheated when my first SPF roller was $32K, then the next $36K and then $38K, Kirkham more and so on. Do you think the guys buying the Ford GTs at $ 230-$300K feel cheated that the guys they are buying them from paid $ 159-$180K. Comes down to supply and demand. As long as the new SPFs, Kirkham's, Shelby's and so on keep moving higher in price and people are buying them then the overall prices will keep moving up. I always thought there were a ton of buyers out there for cars $60K and down but then very limited above that. This seems to have moved up to much higher now as even at the auctions you see all replicas doing quite well. I know we all watch Cobracountry and they all seem to be selling. I've been kicking around buying a SPF or CAV GT40 and this is another example of how fast these cars have gone up in price. SPFs rollers were $65K not too many years ago and now $105K for a roller. There does seem to be ceilings however as I noticed the SPF GT40s completed cars were selling fast at $ 100-$120K but now moving up to $135-$149K there are several that have been for sale for months and months. At the end of the day it is always about having a nice car someone or a couple people want to buy!
