If anyone ever has an opportunity to drive one of these you will never forget it it’s the most outrageous thing I’ve ever driven

It is an investment not just a car.

Here is the car after the new owner took it for a spin......

A fool and his money.

It’s a store of wealth, and sometimes a tax dodge, for the very rich. It’s more fun than buying hideously ugly art work.

I believe people should spend their own money any way they want to-but this,to me,is insanity. The people who buy cars at this lofty price point are investors more than enthusiasts and collectors. Well, most of them... who knows, Jerry Seinfeld might actually go and drive the McQueen Porsche 917.
I know what you mean, though - and lots of people who own Cobra replicas obviously agree.

Nice try. But that is a fiberglass replica.

Surely, you were trying to see if we were paying attention! Absolutely a replica. But, they are not bad in their own right.

This vehicle will only increase in value. It will more than likely out perform any 401K or IRA. The collector car market is actually a very good place to store wealth. Better than gambling in the stock market.
For instance an early 80’s a Porches 911 could be had a few years ago for around 10 grand. If you bought one and kept it, it is now worth close to 6 figures.

And, its only money.
Precisely. It’s not about the value of the car. It’s about the value of the money. And when you are worth billions, 13 mil is nothing, if you want the item.

AC Cars is still in business, and makes the AC MkVI in Germany with a Corvette engine. Apparently not avaialble in the USA.

It may also be partially an attempt to buy something of “value” instead of holding dollars. It would be low on my list too.

I would rather have my Miata.
Maybe you should lie down for a while :^)
Nah... I also have a Miata and bet it has a more “Fun per Dollar” rating than that Cobra...:^)

You would think for that sum that the seller would have the seats re-upholstered prior to the sale.

Not a problem. As long as you have the undamaged VIN plate, you can rebuild it from scratch and it is still Cobra #0001.
How cool is that?
