I agree as well. I am so far over my original build budget it not even funny. However, I would not trade the times I have had with the Cobra for anything. You could offer me 20 Grand more than I have in this car and I would not take it! Find the Cobra that you want to purchase or build, that is in the range you want to spend, and then drive the tires off of it. Investment be damned! You'll see. Besides, what is the use of having a trailer queen that you got at a great price that you never get to enjoy, just so you can make some money in the future? I agree with Humbucker, should have done this a very long time ago! Good luck with your search.
