Not sure I get the gist of this thread but I'll add a little gibberish anyway. Keep in mind I bought a 66 Paxton SC Mustang Cobra out of CA in the mid 80s and sold it within 6 months for $17,500. The guy I sold it to had it SOLD for $30k. God knows what it's worth now.
After typing that I've got to go outside and do something real physical for a few minutes before continuing.
