The '100' number came around recently when B.J. auctioned off the 100th Coupe, a 'replica' of one of the original Coupes. Well, OK, it was the SAME COLOR, hardly anything near an 'accurate' replica of ANY of the original Coupes.

GREAT marketing that was! Touted as the 'last of it's kind', (uh, yeah I guess thats true with the new ones coming on), the 100th model, a 'celebration' of the originals, etc and blah blah blah. The car was sold for over $200K. If the buyer is happy, more power to him. Will that 100th 'replica\celebration' signed by Shelby Coupe hold it's value? Maybe, if the new owner can keep the 'hype' going, 'cause thats the ONLY reason it sold for that kind of money, in my opinion.

When the Mark II's start rolling in I wonder if it will be little more than 'last years' model when the smoke has cleared? Replica Cobras\Coupes should NEVER be considered an 'investment'.
