Sure you take a beating on resale, like everybody has and will in the future with any custom or hot rod car built 'their way'. There's hardly a custom car on the market that you could expect to get your money back on, ANY custom car. Stang, souped up ricer, 57 Chevy, you name it. Nothing's changed, it's still the same game.

Excaliber,
I could have not said it better myself in terms of trying to find the 'right' car. There are a lot of very nice 'used / nearly new' Cobras out there, most certainly of late. In my instance, I am looking for a small block 'street' car and there are not a lot to be had, especially when compared to the stroked small block or big block 427 cars (which are awesome, don't get me wrong, but not what I am after).
So, I'll probably wind up ordering a car, which is more money than finding one already built, but in the end, I'll get what I am looking for in a Cobra. Krikham makes some beautiful cars no doubt about it, especially to my eye the 289 slab side car. However, in my case when it's all said and done, it's probably a bit beyond my budget.
