Excal, there are certainly a few F5 cars that are worth 70k. I agree from the pics that the particular car in question is not in my opinion.

However, build an all aluminum engine, throw a couple of different power adders on, custom tranny, rear end, six pot brakes, and now you have a very expensive toy that out performs most cobras.

As for the percieved pecking order, it really depends on where you stand and what you want. Some people want modern technology with a race proven design. Others want a very original looking car. (or in some cases an exact copy of the original aluminum can)

There is quite a lot of F5 bashing on this forum, but I think that is because there are different values/perceptions here. Enjoy what you have, Scott
