Cheer up!
A buyer gets a very nice running CSX for under $100,000. Color is a personal choice, Avons are $2,000, have Patrick repaint the wheels for the cost of some sandpaper and Krylon (or whatever brand you desire) and lower the suspension. No big deal. The TKO600 is top of the line for Cobras and the mystery 427 could be center oiler (or a sideoiler) and is still a wonderful vintage engine.
Or you can pay Shelby $110,000 for a roller and then add another $30,000 to $40,000 +/- to finish.
When others are selling for $115,000-$125,000, this is a nice deal. And there's always a little wiggle room. The ad doesn't say "firm."
