I would add that the first group of standard side vent cars had 'cut out' type vents. Later cars had vents that were separate pieces screwed on.

With an estimate at $425K-$475K and a sale at $425K Donnie knows his cobra prices and it now will only take another $300K for a complete restoration for the new owner.

Another $300k for a complete restoration? Why not just get the car in safe running condition and drive it? I'm sure that could be done for a reasonable amount of money. The torn seats and peeling paint are just part of the patina.
