Yes it is more expensive to build the coupe but I think the opportunity to drive it in the more adverse weather here in the wet west will more than make up for that.
Is it just the oo-la-la factor of the roadster which for me after several years here on the forum is wearing a bit thin, or the style of the coupe is just not that appealling to most?

Scott,
I love the Coupes, I think its one of the most beautiful cars from the era. I seriously thought about buying one, but folks are pretty unrealistic about pricing these both new and used. Its still a replica. For the price of the average high end Coupe, I could get my true love, an aluminum slabside from Kirkham and still have money left over for a damn sweet honeymoon.
