It figures the Year I was born the Legendary Shelby Cobra is Worth the Most. What a Gem! The Best Part is that at the Heart of it all its Powered by Ford Motor Company Legendary 427 Cubes.

Yes, it’s a Daytona Coupe, but it does have Cobra underpinnings. The Daytonas were essentially Cobras with a more aerodynamic hard top body”

And a longer wheel base.

Loved the GM contest in the top pane. Click one – select the next product line to be dropped.

4mula,
This is the racing version of the Cobra, so, you’re right, they’re right.

I dunno why I don’t see an 2005 Mustang Cobra going for any price 44 years from now.

Wasn’t there a movie not long ago called Blackhawk Down? I suspect there’ll be a lot of that going on in a day or two.

The other day I raced an older GTI in my ‘95 Neon and won. So by all rights that should put it up there in record breaking territory as well. You know, in the $900 to $1,000 range.

Good thing it has a full sized spare tire. That’s a huge selling point.

Any Toyotas or Hondas from 1965 hold that kind of resale value??

I got around $5000 on hand right now. Is that enough for a down payment?
