Insane looking machine, better ways to spend that sort of coin though.
Not sure the American collectors who will be fighting for it would agree!

Awesome looking beast.
If you were a collector you'd want matching numbers though?
I'd take it- but you're right, the estimate should be considerably less given the non-original engine. However, ALL car interiors should be like that... especially if you're married! wink

Depends. I'm not an expert but this kind of muscle car isn't the same as a 1920s Bentley. Even the Ferrari market loosened up a bit when Evans bought his not-entirely-original ex-Coburn car. When stuff like this was built they went through series of engines and were swapped and souped up and that was all part of the culture. I'm not convinced that replacing a slightly lacklustre engine with one of the most famous of all time will put off guys who in all likelihood have hot rod Ford Coups sitting next to concours Superbirds...
