See, I went the opposite direction. I wanted an 03-04 cobra to replace my '02 GT that I had. When I started shopping around everyone that was willing to sell were wanting 30-50k for a 20+ year old car that has rode hard and put away wet. I decided for that money I was just going to buy a new car...
