Thank you. A real data point.
Again, to reiterate my point, the Cobra replica market tends to be soft. So ANY Cobra replica can be purchased for FAR less than asking price for a quick and easy transaction. |
Yup, bought mine about 6 months agao. To clarify; mine's a small block (392 Ford Racing), not a big block. (I didn't want a big block.) But I suspect a BB can be had at a similar price point if one tries hard enough. If I ever sell mine (doubt it, this has been on my bucket list since 1972 or so!), I'd be surprised if I was able to recoup my purchase price. Like you said; these replicas are being built every day, brandy new, ready for waiting customers to say yes. There is no shortage of them. Want one? All one needs to do is pick up the phone and call a dealer. Boom, done. So unless something changes to this very ample supply and demand chain, prices for these will always remain relatively low and negotiable. I think we go into these replicar purchases with the understanding that it's a fun thing that costs money, like boats, etc.
