What Ron 61 said....they are WAY more complex to build (even the less accurate reproductions), and there significantly fewer manufacturers. That adds up to a much more expensive car.

And yes, the transaxle is expensive, but that's in addition to the already expensive rolling chassis.

On the other hand, the ally Kirkhams and Shelbys are not exactly cheap, likely reflecting the added expense and complexity associated with manufacturing in aluminum.

Really, a fiberglass cobra is about as simple of a car as you can make...
