ROI, there will always be Cobras that command a premium when put up for sale but this is a hobby and to expect a profit may be letting yourself down when the time comes to sell it. Calling people that go the extra mile to have original details arrogant is BS!

And I said, and I’ll repeat it, as a business owner, a business that builds Cobra replicas, you’re not an impartial judge of ROI. Simple as that. You make money by selling more detailed Cobras. The more detailed, the more labor and parts sold. Of course, ROI isn’t important to you, but it’s important to others. You have an inherent bias on the topic.
As for calling some (not all) of those Cobra replica owners who build detailed “authentic replicas” arrogant, well, “I call them as I see them.” They’re out there, because I’ve seen them and met them. Call it BS, but that’s my personal experience. Seems it’s Rodneym’s experience as well.
Lastly, as for the concept of replicas selling for a “premium,” it’s more like trying to get some or most of your original investment back in most cases. Replica owners aren’t rolling in profits unless they bought their cars 10 years ago and now rollers are far more expensive.
