I edited my other post because I remembered the finished Cobras actually went for $39,900 not $39,000 and this was this guys only job building cobras, his partner painted cars and still does. Since he had $17,000 invested in each build he was making $22,900. Since I have no idea on how many man hours it took him to finish each car I don’t know if he was making $10 or $1 an hour profit. When we see a Cobra advertised on Cobra Country for $39,900 asking price and finally a sold sign again we have no idea what the seller actually got in payment as $39,900 was only the asking price. I do have a sale add on a Cobra Shop Cobra stating it was sold for $39,900 in a scrap book, not bad for a used Cobra as that’s what he paid. I know of a guy who had a Factory Five coupe built who wound up paying over $100,000 for his build. I have a friend who built a FFR roadster and actually made a profit on its sale, but not enough that he quit his day job. You can buy the Unique package for $25,000, it will need wheels and tires and a engine and transmission plus paint and body work. A paint job can run from about $3,000 to $10,000 plus if you want that stripe adds another $500 and of course you will be farming out this part. It’s too bad you didn’t ask this question over at FFCOBRA where the majority of posters build their cars here many have purchased their cars finished.
