Considering a new build just like the black one would be around $85K, is $15K + discount for less than 2K miles of use not a good deal? Consider that it is also registered as a 66 and you save lots of money in registration and taxes (some states) and lots of headache. I don't know... I guess they seem to be selling them.

Perhaps, but not everyone is keen on the high ankle tattoo you get after contact with hot side pipes. |

Note that the 427 body style refers to the CID under the hood, not the block. If you want to be boring but correct you would have a 427 BB under the hood. If you want to trump boring and also be correct you would have a 427 SB under the hood. The number "427" by itself is meaningless, when associated to Shelby's intent in '66 to develop the most powerful high-performance roadster he could, then you have meaning. With today's replicas how do you meet Shelby's intent back in '66, you replicate the 427 body and put a 427 SB in it

Well that made no sense whatsoever, but, OK, you do know that the "true" displacement of the 428 was 427.4 cubic inches? |

Good point, Cycleguy, after getting a nasty snake bite on her ankle, my granddaughter seems to think my roadster is more appealing than my S/C.
