People who believe that there's such a thing as "basic laws of supply and demand" and that that
model applies to Cobras.

Cobras are a niche vehicle for enthusiasts. They can haul fertilizer, they can take kids to school, they can be taken to the store for groceries, and I know of at least a few that have been taken on trips cross country as well.

All cars are an emotional experience. Some moreso than others. There is no such thing as 'extra disposable income;' there's either extra income or there's disposable income.

Cobra replicas are an excellent choice for an automobile. In fact, they're an excellent investment. They don't devalue like other production sports cars, they are easy to maintain, and - in the end - they're generally worth exactly what you paid for them when you go to resell them ... even after you put miles on the car.
You, my friend, need to stick with your apples and oranges; you're not really good when it comes to cars.
