"How much would it cost to rent a non-replica Cobra?" No owner in their right mind would do something like this but, in theory, if someone did find a Cobra-owner willing to do it, how much would they expect to pay? While one can rent a million-dollar car such as a Ferrari, those can be replaced unlike the Cobra. This would have to be factored in to the price. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Interesting question, why do you ask?

That's why they build continuation cars and Kirkhams. We once talked to a pontoon fender Testa Rosa owner at Monterey about the risk of racing that valuable of a car. He pointed to the serial number tag and said as long as that isn't destroyed the rest could be rebuilt.

Don't forget that a cobra was rented for the making of Cannonball.

I'm working on a Loss of Use case. I can use the rental prices of million dollar cars as a base but the Cobra is in a different class.

2 - Duane Bowers' got a smashed nose and Les Lindley's got a dented frame from when they slid it into the channel in the LA River. All were repaired repainted and returned. If I remember they got $1,000 for the rental. The stuntman who drove the Ferrari through the front of the trailer in the service in a semi scene got sent home.

There's a $1.5 Million-dollar Bugatti Veyron being advertised online for rent for $25,000/Day.

If you owned that Bugatti along with a $1.5 Million-dollar 1966 Cobra CSX 3000, would you consider renting the Cobra for the same price?

A purely hypothetical question.

It should be a lot cheaper for the 427. Greatly reduced maintenance costs.

Bugatti recommends all fluids have to be changed each year and that costs a hefty $25,000 since replacing the oil and all the other fluids takes a lot of work. The car has a whopping 16 drain plugs. The drain plugs are not easily accessible as the mechanics have to take out the rear wheels and brakes, as well as the lining on the rear fenders along with the one underneath the back of the car.

Moving on to the wheels, Bugatti advises all Veyron owners to change the tires once every couple of years and a fresh new set costs an eye-watering $38,000. As for the wheels themselves, they have to be replaced every 10,000 miles (16,093 kilometers) for a staggering $50,000.  Doing the math, we're looking at around $100,000 in maintenance costs in just a couple of years of ownership.
