Right there with you "freekintoad".....
I had just finished my 1969 Mustang Fastback 4spd car and had not even had 200 miles on the rebuilt 351W (non-stock) and while at a car show some guy kept pestering me all day to buy the car so I shot him a price in the mid $20's and he stated he'd be right back with his wife, son and checkbook which he did return. While getting the checkbook out he made the comment that the car was for his 16 year old son's birthday, after hearing that I backed out of the deal for fear of the kid killing himself or someone else with the car. Granted it's alot more car (sheetmetal wise) than a Cobra, but still more car than a 16 year old needs, specially after meeting the kid. He might have been fine, maybe maybe not....I couldn't do it. Granted the money would have been nice but I didn't want to jepordize someone's child to get it.
