I would think that the CSX with an FE would always be worth close to what you have in it. Go over to cobracountry.com and see what the SPF and CSX cars are advertised for and how long they have been for sale at that price. That might give you some direction. Either way, you are getting ready to have the time of your life! What are you looking for in a Cobra? Do you want a modern/street rod look (18 inch wheels/Roush 427R) or more original (15 inch wheels/ FE 427)?

I been on Cobra Country for over a year now. The cars seem to sell for about the same amounts less depreciation, give or take a few highs/lows. I like the modern street look better and am not looking for an investment. In my 50 years I have never found toys that appreciate.

Also I went to Keith Crafts website I see no listing for SPS and engine for under 60K...

I off for a nice drive to Seattle in my wife's 750 BWM and look at Cobra's, life's good

Updates to follow..

Keith is not a SPF dealer but provides a lot of engines to some of the SPF dealers and it appears one that went out of business payed off his bill with a new roller. Keith decided to put one of his engines in and finish the car to sell it. Not on his Website but if you are interested call him as I know he just finished it and is offering it for sale under $60K....It's Royal Blue with Wimbledon White Stripes and a 427 small block 580HP stroker.

If it doesn't sell by next weekend he plans to take it to the Texas Cobra Club annual Cobra meet in San Marcos, Tx.

This is one of the cars I'm looking at..

Yep, I like it. A lot. Very nice indeed. So what else are you considering?

I bought a SPF last year and thought about the same exact things but after talking to the dealers and the extra money i decided not to go with the csx because i believe the tube frame is not as ridgid as the other and i really don't plan on selling it so the resale means nothing to me. I bought the car and had a 427 side oiler with aluminum heads and dual quads on it. The motor is 584 hp on the dyno and i built the car for $60. I see them selling for more that what i have into it. I don't think this hold true if you put a small block in it. I just really wanted a BB! Just my opinion.

Well the Keith Craft's brand new SPF with the 427 small block stroker sold yesterday afternoon to Dallas56 who was also searching on clubcobra. He drove over from Dallas yesterday and spent a couple hours with Keith after he purchased the car so that one is gone. Did sell for under $60K...
