If I remember correctly, the kit was approximately $21,000 back around 1996 which is when I purchased my West Coast Cobra. That was for basically a complete unassembled vehicle minus, engine, trans, paint, wheels, tires and side exhaust. Back than, it was available in phases so that you could pay as assembly progressed. Don’t know if that’s still an option or not. However, keep in mind that it’s easy to add another $20K to finish the car even if you build your own engine and do the painting yourself which is what I do. You need to take that into consideration when looking at the asking price of the vehicles you looked at.
Regarding changes, the most important one in my mind to look at is the suspension. Four wheel coil over with disc brakes was about a $1500 option back then and I believe it is now standard equipment. Do either of these cars have the coil over suspension? Other than that, to the best of my knowledge, most of the other changes are mainly cosmetic or minor in nature.
