It isn't at all surprising that he's turned a bit of attention to shorthood cars. Let's see.....a rusted out '71 for $35,000.00, or an also ran 3,0 that needs a regrind for $5,200.00? Not a hard decision.
I hear you but I wonder how much all told he has in it, factoring in what his mechanic(s) and paint guy(s) cost. I'd imagine if one of us mere mortals tried to duplicate that car we'd be into it for at least 30K, especially if we had to farm-out paint and various mechanical work.
