Here is another that did not sell, but was bid up to $68,000. It had a Roush 427R with 85 miles.

I am picking up a repeating pattern of minimal miles driven on these cars. First 1400 miles, then 85 miles, and finally 502 miles. It would appear these were either people who thought they could make money building and selling a replica or they discovered they bought and built something completely out of character with what they expected.

Depending on which scenario fits, it might give a potential buyer leverage in the purchase process.

If you look at the comments on BAT for the car with 85 miles that did not sell, it seems it was being sold by a Backdraft dealer (maybe a demo car?). The seller/dealer claims that the car was eventually sold for $85,000.

But if you don't like the color it now apparently costs $50k to get a repaint.

its worth what ever your comfortable spending, if the buy doesn't accept your offer then it wasn't meant to be.
