I don't have the article but. looking at auction prices, I think even in 2011 a 289 Cobra one owner car was worth $500,000 so wouldn't it be worth more like 10 new Boss 302s or was the Boss 302 just a sweetener? Anyway at least the discovery of this car gives hope that one-owner cars are still out there, though the supply must be getting exceedingly thin....

Wally,
I believe the BOSS 302 was thrown in to sweeten the deal, but was not actually "the deal".
