WOW, now that's a bit of bad luck on the '69. Perhaps someone will step up within the business to take over the projects.

Anyway, $20K sounds about right + the engine. I've thought about upgrading my '70, but I've already got $6.5K in it as purchased - it's a 4X4 with working air conditioning - and purchased in CA - prices are higher here. I'm torn between fixing it up and selling/trading it for one that's been already completed. There are more than a few trucks out there in that year range that simply could not be re-built for the price.

By the way, although I'm older then you - I as well fell in love with the Cobra back in the '60's, as well as C10's in the late '60's, early '70's, but always liked the '55 Chevys as well - ending up with all of them at this time - a replica Cobra, of course.
