While certainly strong it's hardly period correct. Many, if not most, had a 427 side oiler, which is very cool. Some had 'other engines', a substantial penalty for a car with a reputation for generally being 'accurate'. With an engine other than a side oiler and a 9" Ford rear end and a glass body that should make for a very attractive price. "Parts" shouldn't be anymore difficult to obtain than for most other older replicas.

I don't know all the specs for the car your looking at, glass or alloy, IRS or live axle. It does have a 460, which would be a deal killer for me, UNLESS it was indeed a great price. Hi Techs LOOK right and thats a huge plus factor for the car's in general.
He wants 55 K with the with the 460 BB
