Long history.
The point is there are many ways to create a Cobra. I am just a purist and for my budget I do what I can.
A great friend of mine has an awesome cobra that is more hot rod than Cobra. Just a different flavor.
This all started when I suggested best bang for buck would be selling the CCX and the bowtie separate as it may bring of net more $. I admittedly stated I don't know what a GM 427 with Muncie is worth. It has sat since late 80's. glad he made more than anyone expected. Me for sure. Figured the CCX could stand as a great base on its own legs.
Not sure about simple difference of cash in cash out.
But ok, I concede....
Btw the car in question.

Not apposed to your view of the cobra world at all, and being life long friends with Thor sharing this hobby, it's all good! The point I'm making is that the statement
a Chevy plant hurts the value of a Cobra compared to a Ford is flawed from inception. As you say, there are different flavors of these beasts - and I'm sure we agree that they are worth what the market will bear, both going in and getting out. Because of that, I say there is no financial argument that can be made regarding buying a replica with a ford power plant in it vs. a chevy.
