I hear ya'. But I get the strong feeling it is going to be a take it or leave it type deal. I guess the way I was looking at it was I WOULD pay the $5,500 for the car since it is so solid and will not need the typical rust repair most older verts need. Then, he has vertually every part I would need tp buy anyway to restore the car AND covert it to a T/A clone which I was wanting to do anyway since I LOVE them so much. I got to see Milt Robson's collection when he had three T/A verts at the same time and have been in love with them ever since.
