Good points made.
Joe, mine is original right down to the blue silicon Police issue radiator hoses and the Damerow Ford glove box sticker and buck tags.
Paint jobs are tough. You could spend a lot of money on a paint job, even on a white car like all of the SSP's are but when and if I go down that road I think I will spend the extra time trying to explain to the painter that I want a half ass, factory Ford paint job and not something perfectly glossy.
By Legendary resto shop I'm sure Junky only meant that every attention to detail has to be made in order for something like this achieve the highest price.
I also agree with Junky about the numbers. I have owned an S351 and an SSC. I will own those again.
Don't get me wrong, but when the day comes and our cars are worth good money ( 30 years from now ) it always seems to be the lowest production of a car and not power or looks. Hemi Cuda. The 65-66 GT350's are slow pigs in stock form but they bring huge money. The single most reason 1967 GT500's are worth big money...... well, you can thank Nick Cage for that.
