as i said before on another thread not too long ago , 052 is a steal. and at that price you can retrofit any upgrades you want and be money ahead when done . white color is more rare, a low take rate so to speak, which does not help. paint it blue and resell it at a profit ! quite an engine in that car too. remember folks, buyer #1 takes the resale hit, buyer #2 can usually break even or come out ahead , even 2-3 or more yrs later as the new prices escalate and there is some residual upward affect on the used prices then too. for ANY brand. re the other comment on 25 cars for sale, heckers, check out cobra country cars for sale. there are multitudes of cars for sale of ALL brands at ALL prices. same on ebay ! those that lost control during the build process or got cute$y with their engine build will pay the piper vs what else is on the market. some higher end folks got bit on their investments today too, dont kid yourself georgia snk. also, the shelby mustang market is on FIRE ..prices continue to skyrocket as they did in the late 80's...investors deciding to go the car route vs the stock exchange i guess....not all win in either investment category: cobra replicas, cobras, stocks etc. my spf 156 was built in 1996 and looks as good today as the brand new spfs in the 1400 serial range! quite a tribute to then and today. a friend owns era #005 , built over 20 yrs ago, looks like a brand new car today too, superb long lasting quality and it is still original body/ paint/ seats etc .. like brand new too ....the higher end cars retain the luster, the quality remains beyond the first couple of years. ya get what ya pay for. not all can say that. .. i have seen owners of early spfs who bought them new sell them for MORE THAN THEY HAD INVESTED ! I could do that too ! something to think about....052 could be yours bean towner ! pay the price and join the club ! you won't lose . bill.
