I'm sorry ---- this just busts me up....


Look what it costs (compare new to used here) to drive so few miles..... JUST WOW! I've known this all along - but thought I'd post it here since we're talking about 'em.

I can't believe people are paying almost 6 figure for these things!

Thanks Steve.

I made it over to the FF forum.

There's a mostly funny thread about FF guys talking to people about their other make of replicas.

The SPF guys can be extremely sensitive...lol

One example...

"I had an SPF guy go off about it not being a kit car when all I said was "nice car". "

Really? Have you ever added up just the PARTS to build a car? Then add paint? They're a relative BARGAIN. Even more so when you buy a used one.

A used one, sure, that may be a bargain. Also not $100k. It's a pretty basic car, just hard to imagine paying that much for what you get. (Looking at that Superformane link you posted)

My neighbor had a Superformance that was 1 of 2 with a 588 rousch. He stole it from a guy that had to sell NOW. Took him forever to sell it, and he wasn't asking the moon for it either. While it was narly to look at, sounded awesome, blah , blah, blah, I would never buy one as the market for them if very limited and saturated. Personally, I hated how far offset the pedal box was, akward if your not used to it. It was a great drive it to the local car show and watch everyone oogle over it, but that was about it for it.

A clone of Danny Popp's C3 is on my near future radar. I love that car.

Funny ---- a quarter mile from the house is The Sun Valley Lodge.... a wonderful historic "place" --- it's on the only road I take to get to my house - and lo and behold as I cruised home from a little fly fishing -- bright colors catch my eye!!

A gaggle of COBRAS parked side by side! LOL --- what's the odds of that - that they'd be here this week.

Probably 40 of them. And lots of trailers in the gravel lot out back. I was going to take a picture of them to post up here - but most of them were parked behind a gate. Wasn't really worth the effort (I'd have had to park and walk over -- LOL).

Maybe I should get the drone out and go buzz 'em.

Default Who remembers the Cobra from the old 60's show 'Honey West'?

The current owner posted this vid of the car Anne Francis drove.



The 'show-touring' version of auto-crossing I guess.

Greg,

Sometime back I came across a write-up of the Sun Valley Lodge. Historic for sure.

Oh and btw... imho if you came across a bunch of C2's, we'd be lookin' at pics by now!
