Building your own is something you would always remember and take pride in, but figure on going over whatever budget you set. I did a resto on a 68 mustang and I would never do it again (took twice as long as I thought and cost twice as much!) A lot of fine memories though! I think you can find some pretty good deals on used Cobras, but you have to shop around. I think some try to get MORE than they paid for their car! Last time I was on Cobra Country there were a couple SPF's that looked like nice cars but the prices were a bit high! New Blue / Wht w/428. 100 miles but they wanted 65K! Another was a Drk Blue SPF w/ 418, 300 miles for 59,900. You can order a NEW SPF w/ a 418 (granted, not the billet motor as listed, but all forged parts) for low 50's. Maybe some people will pay more (especially in the spring) for a SPF that they can drive away in that day instead of having to wait the 4-5 months to have one built. Money to burn, I guess!
