I know a new lexus ls 430 cost 57K 4 years ago, today you can buy it for $30K, A new SPF cost $55K? today you buy it for $49K, in another 4 years the ls 430 will be 10K the SPF will be $48K. May not be an investment but there are worse cars to spend your money on.

And 500,000 GMC Sierras have been sold!

So friggin what!

Apples to oranges.

Who gives a rats ass what a Lexus goes for or how many Ford F150's have been made.

Cobras are a specialty car for a very limited market. They have no practical purpose (can't haul fertilizer, take the kids to school, go for groceries, take the family on trips, etc.) other than to get from point A to point B in the least amount of time.
They are an emotional experience period. And as long as there are individuals with the EXTRA DISPOSABLE INCOME to purchase these toys, their value will remain somewhat constant.

They (replicas) are not now, nor will they ever be a good investment, money wise. But they are an extremely good emotional investment.
