Except on the "Concours" issue as mark IV hits the nail on the head.A concourse is found at a mall or airport or other large public area and the term is constantly misused when describing a "Concours" restoration or something shown at a "Concours d' Elegance" event.
As far as pricing goes,there are few if any 1 owner Boss 429's and there were only 93 Raven Black ones that were built out of a total run in 1969 of 859 cars.
Can you say rare!
Even at my asking price of 265000,if one wanted to return it to "Concours " and have a trailer queen the total investement would still be in the market area.
Now if one wanted to purchase the car without the original parts that I would include I would price it at 250000 .By the way if you look at stock Boss parts prices are quite high.Just ask Steve Strange
I suspect that the original owners of modified Cobras that race them might see my point,that is to say performance and safety mods are reversible if that's what you want in a car.
One thing for sure is that they aren't making them anymore so values can still climb.IMHO
But, I didn't post here to argue numbers I came looking for a buyer.If one comes of it I will then have a Cobra to talk about.
But it won't be original and it won't be built to 60's specs.
It will be fast,safe as posible,and damn good looking.
I would however miss the Boss as there is never an instance of it drawing crowds whenever I take it out to a show or just for a cruise.You might ask why that is and I submit to you that unless you go to a Concours event you rarely see one in public

Not trying to pee on your cornflakes, but I am just curious where your valuation came from? Is that pricing from an appraiser or more of a "seat of the pants" sort of valuation? Since there are so few of some of these cars on the market at any time, I have always been curious how someone can place any sort of realistic price on them- unless the owner isn't really interested in selling- then just about anything goes I guess......
