IMHO, the effort put into CSX3259 should have to been to restore it to its original roadster configuration as originally delivered to the first owner. I look at this CSX as I would any car modified from the original, and therefore it should be worth less than if it were restored to its original roadster configuration. IMHO, it was restored to look like an S/C which is nearly as fake as my SPF version of an S/C.
I have a feeling that my opinion may be more on the "purest" side, but this is a Cobra, not a 1966 Stringray, and it should have been restored to its pure state, not to a modified state - especially given how much $$$ the current owner was willing to spend to buy AND modify it further AND clean it up.
IMHO, a collector with the resources to purchase this CSX would pass on this opportunity...
"Hey, is that a real S/C?"... no.
YMMV,
Randy...
