Hi Zeke,
My father-in-law has a Superformance 427 Cobra in bright yellow (351 Windsor side-oiler ~475hp, Tremec 5-speed, knock-off hubs, Hallibrand wheels). He lives in North Carolina, but brings the Cobra on a trailer when he visits us on Cape Cod. He was up for a graduation in June and I got to drive the car everyday for a week! Its just a gas to drive - brutish and ornery...
There are a variety of replicar manufacturers: two of quality that I am familiar with are the Factory Five group in Wareham, Mass - their turnkey cars average about $35K. The high-end is Superformance out of South Africa and High Point, NC - their turnkey autos similarly equipped as above begin in the mid $50k range. Dennis Oltoff, the company head is a very successful club sport racer with his cars - including a "victory" in the Car&Driver "One lap of America" competition. these replicars are the real thing - only stronger and WAY more reliable than the originals. The original Shelby Cobras fetch well into the $120,000 range for pristine examples - but most folks treat them as "trailer queens" because of their value. We love to wail on the Superformance - it is a strong and viable beast.
Cheers to automotive hedonsim (in moderation of course),
Eric
