.....If we are talking FINANCIAL reasons ONLY.....then no, it doesn't make "cents" to sell your GT-350 or 500 to purchase a CAV Cobra. ...But I don't think that's the reason people would do such a thing. I would say that for the most part, (and this is just MHO) that most of us here own these cars for the "love" and respect we have for the Cobra. A lot of this group grew up with them, idled them (or Shelby), and have dreamed of one day owning one. ......They are not our 401K or part of a retirement plan. They are, in fact, TOYS. We didn't buy them because they were a nice, safe, family car, and we were looking for something the wife could haul the kids around in. They sit in the garage, and when we get "the urge".....we go out and play. They are a spark in our lives that makes a long week at work, a little easier to cope with once Saturday rolls around and we head out to the garage and fire her up. We are kids, at heart......and the car helps keep us young. If someone wants to sell their GT-350 or 500 for a CAV Cobra, it is most likely because they are tired of one toy and they want to play with another (just like kids!).
I say God bless 'em, buy what ever car you want, .......and go have some FUN!
