[QUOTE="Cobra Jet, post: 16755488, member: 127353"] I also think that folks are now holding on to the SVT SN95's due to the push for EV's and the fact that these cars (in good maintained condition) are as many have said - very hard to come by now. I also always see the reference to the Fox platform - but what many don't realize is that the SN95 was still on a Fox chassis/floor pan/suspension, and the only real thing that changed was the body shell and interior. This isn't coming just from me, but if anyone collects Mustang books, literature or really follows the builds - it's been mentioned factually as well in those books and other sources. I mean, to those of us who have owned a Fox and an SN95, we know with a side by side comparison, the SN95 is almost identical to the Fox from the underside. The SN95's have their own following just as any other Mustang platform over the years - and the collectibility of these cars, more specifically the SVT line over a standard GT is rising as the years pass. I've thought of selling mine a few times - but haven't, because of the statements in this thread. I know what I have, the overall condition of it, and to replace it if sold - there just wouldn't be any replacement and the cost to replace would exceed the fact that I have a solid SVT and know what has been done to it, without the need for any repairs or restoration. Everyone has reasons for getting rid of something and in most instances, money drives that thought. If the car is paid off, and is in the garage more than not, the only cost there is would be Collector Car Ins. Even maintenance cost is very minimal, the car isn't being used and it doesn't cost a thing to start it, run it or take it out every now and then. Most Collector Car Ins. companies for those who have NOT shopped them or insured as such, the cost to insure one at say just a hypothetical $20k Agreed Value, it's going to cost minimum of $300 a year - that's it. If it's an SVT, it's value will appreciate over time anyway and that $300 a year is moot. I've had mine on Collector Car Ins. now for close to 15 years, fully insured for an Agreed Value. Other cost to maintain annually is practically nothing at all, aside from fuel or an oil change every so many thousands of miles. My SVT sees less than 3K a year since it's been on Collector Car Ins. That's also not because of any Ins. restrictions, it's just because I only take it out when it's nice or when I have time to do so - my S550 is my daily anyway. I say hang on to it (and any SVT product), unless there is an absolute compelling reason or need to have the $$$ (which will just be spent or used on something else) over the Cobra. These cars are not at their peak yet either - so if it was sold, you're leaving a lot of $$$ on the table. [/QUOTE]
