In November of last year when I attended the Reptile Roundup Wayne brought his Factory Five Big Red one of many that he has built for profit and even though it was a Factory Five his asking price was $50,000 and I asked if he had a problem marketing one of the lesser value cobra replicas although now the biggest seller replica of any of the cobras out there and his answer was NO. If you look at his web site www.verycoolparts.com you will see that Big Red was sold. The very first time he met me and my car in London Ohio he personally congratulated me in completing an Elegant Motors Cobra as I had no directions from the manufacturer or any internet forum to ask how I should hold a screw driver to complete my project. From the earliest cobra replica companies and one of the oldest in the business the Weaver brothers Unique and still growing, selling, and manufacturing their replicas don't really need advertising because they get all the orders they can handle. Each and every year they attend the Turkey Rod Run only so people will not say, look the Weaver brothers must have passed on as they are not in attendance. We have had over 30 cobra replica companies go under and 30 more are going strong and each and every day we find a new manufacturer like Hurricane and now returning Elegant Motors to a business that is failing I don't think so.
