I saw the BMW replica at Amelia and the instrumentation looked better in person. The exterior color on this example is exemplary, however in my view a 427 is more than enough power for such a lightweight vehicle. As to the price you mention, by comparison every Factory Five or Superperformance Cobra replica should sell north of 2-300k. As this isn't the case with Cobras, it should hold for these cars as well. They are replicas and do not have the provenance or the authenticity of the original to command such high prices. Not to say Renucci doesn't make a great car, they do, but buyers shouldn't get carried away to believe it is an original.", "likes": 3, "timestamp": 1692629445, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 12245457, "authorName": "LowestBidder0001", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/lowestbidder0001/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@@TRibute As with anything, the value of something is whatever someone is willing to pay for it. In the case of 250GT replicas, the last 2 on BaT have gone for $267k and $780k. I think there are just so many Cobra replicas out there that the supply is high. Plus, they are 100% sunny day only cars. There are literally thousands of cobra replicas in peoples garages. Conversely, there\u2019s only been 2-3 companies doing Californias, they have convertible tops in case of rain and each company only did between 25 and 60 cars. Thus, if someone wants one, they gotta search and then pay. Modena doesn\u2019t make them any more, that other company shut down and a Renucci takes 6 months to build (after a 6-12 month waitlist). If you want one now, you\u2019d almost be better off getting this one and paying Renucci to change what you want, even color. It\u2019d be faster than ordering new to spec. That\u2019s my 2 cents.
