Excellent question. If he made the car to sell for profit, he made a BAD choice.
If he made it to enjoy, he made a great choice (subjective, really, but we can grant him that one).

The day will come when I sell my hot rod, and I'll take a bath. But I built it for me to enjoy it. Anybody who is looking to get their money back, or make a profit, from a hobby car isn't being realistic. Sure there were times when you could get a roller for $XXX, then the prices would go up and you could sell it for more, but that's NOT a hard and fast rule. If you can't afford to have that "asset" disappear without a trace (or recover a dollar from insurance) and not sweat a dime, then you have no business owning a fun car as absurd as a Cobra.

Now, about that black paint...
