Personally, I dont understand the anomosity. I see it on both ends of the spectrum...the high end cars get the same treatment.

To accuse someone of shill bidding is irresponsible, unless you have some history with them.

I stopped commenting on prices, even though its very tempting. If its too high the seller will figure it out. If someone is willing to pay the stupid price, then so be it...
I agree. Take someone with a back yard pole barn body shop. Has the talent. Is an enthusiast. Has the time. Wants a Shelby. While some will say a guy like that paid stupid money well he had to out bid someone and he knows pretty much what his end cost would be and is OK with it. I'm sure he would make $$$ on the car when done.

What do you think it would cost a back yard enthusiast to bring this car to a super nice level? 
Shelby's and Fords from Day 1

For parts you would have to decide on buying assemblyline, NOS, good used original or go the repro route. Big difference in cost.
