What would be a fair price? I have not seen the car yet but might go look at it tomorrow. Anything to look out for? Any and all help is MUCH appreciated!!!!!!

Here are the specifics:
1965 Factory Five. This car was professionally built by the owner in 2005. It is a non donor all new parts build using Factory Five Racings well known, lightweight, well designed kit. This car is equipped with a Ford small block 414ci stroker producing 550hp, 530 torque and fully polished. Racing radiator, MSD ignition system, March pulleys, racing 1 wire alternator, Hooker 4 into 4 headers, ceramic coated side pipes, Tremec TKO600 road race geared transmission, Centerforce racing clutch, leather seats, leather dash, Auto meter ultralite gauges, chrome fire extinquisher, battery cut off switch, optima battery, Simpson race harnesses, Alpine stereo with 4 speakers, center console, glove box, interior insulation (everywhere), push button or key starter, 315/35/17 rear tires 80%, 255/40/17 front tires 95%, all tubular factory upgrade race suspension, 3 link rear axle with 3.73 gears, custom Moser 31 spline axles and carrier, Bullit wheels, Cobra R slotted and drilled braking system (stops on a dime), foot box vents and fans, windwings, sunvisors, new custom car cover, trunk and footbox upgrades for more room.
The car is finished in a white very expensive primer. The primer has cured for 6 years and a black paint job would hold up great. I never painted the car due to a divorce, and then other things become more important. This would be ideal for someone wanting a very high end and well built Cobra. For $2500 more dollars your bodyshop could have a show quality paint job on this car. All the hard work is done on the body. Just block sand and paint. I also have some misc. spare things going with it.
