I think you guys are missing the boat as far as value of pieces like that, original Cobra owners tend to be the least concerned with originality of just about any vintage car out there. I think if someone had that top for sale, they would be lucky to get $10k for it, any higher and a potential buyer would simply pay McCluskey or someone to make it, I've seen it happen many times. I had the only known alum 390 block known to exist awhile back and Rich Mason only offered a few grand for it! Much of the notariety of the flip top is due to that engine and if any car were to have the value reduced because of a missing component, that's surely one - yet he could care less.
