Man...I am drooling as I read this:

I've always wondered if storing a car like this was worth it.

I see that the Buy it Now price is $70K.

The Blurry sticker (Why can't sellers take clear pictures of important stuff?) looks like it's $54,999 (What was the dealer mark up on these?).

So, was storing this Cobra R a good decision?

I would think that, if driven and enjoyed, the thing would still be worth $70K.

I saw that the other day and wondered if anyone had ever put that engine in a Panther. I think I would rather buy one that was actually driven and not sitting around for 10 years. One of my favorite Mustangs for sure if not my favorite.

i agree, someone needs to drive that car.

If you don't drive it, it may go stale.

That's what she said!

Wow!

But as has been said, I'd rather drive it than store it.
