I'm happy that you got a bidding war and gained $9k. But in order to destroy value, we must establish it first. The answer is in numbers, not feelings.
Maybe Bill S (mrmustang) could tell us what a similar optioned Cobra, but with an FE, would be valued at.
Compare that to your selling price and presto...one example of xyz.
That is a little closer to the mark but still comes up short imo. Putting aside "original" 50 year old cobras which are an investment, the real questions are -

What did you pay for it?
What did you put into it?
How many miles did you put on it?
What did you sell it for?

The NET result will tell you how well you did and can be measured against any cobra replica regardless of how original or authentic the owner thinks it is.
