I have a 2003 Cobra, and also a 1970 Fastback. you all are hung up on the performance part. My Cobra is faster than the old one. But nothing money cannot take care of.
yes the cobra handles better, has more creature comforts. but a lot of the fun of driving a classic is just that. its different, looks great and if all your cars handle the same and have the same power, where is the fun in that. if you can keep the cobra, and save up.
then buy something that needs a little more work, and is just a base fastback you can mess with, and make a replica Boss 320 Trans Am car.
The looks is a big factor too. Friend of mine has a 67 GTO that's his cruiser and a Charger SRT8 for when he wants to mess around. If laruei sells the Cobra he's going to want performance to make up for not having the Cobra. If I was able to keep the Cobra that would be my first choice. But when you have one toy you want it to do everything.
