I hope the sale price is a real bargain. I'm not sure it will be collectible when your grandchildren are retired, much less now.
Thats funny that you say UNDERPOWERD, its basically the same engine as a Coyote, 4.0 vs 5.0 both dohc, when I've made commits that the coyote is underpowered for a cobra you would have thought I killed Jesus. It actualy is the same hp as a ford 4.6 litre 320. (not brute power like a cobra)
