Blasphemy Most Foul....Again!!!

I just saw a 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500KR Convertible for sale for $210,000 AND IT DOESN'T HAVE THE ORIGINAL ENGINE!!!!!!   Really???  The ad says how the original owner grenaded the motor-and it has a "Date Correct" "Police Interceptor" 428 in it. Double-speak for "The Asshole 1st owner put a rod through the side of the block back when these cars weren't worth anything,and it's been through 12 different small and big-block block Fords in its lifetime, but the last owner tried to restore it and found a 428 block out of an old cop car that had 1968 date codes." We want you to overlook that and pay almost a 1/4 million for a NOT-NUMBERS MATCHING SHELBY MUSTANG!!!!  Really????  I saw a '57 Chevy for sale for $69,000 That had a 1964 327 in it with an Edelbrock dual-quad manifold on it, a 3-speed stick, and steel wheels with dog-dish hubcaps. Excuse me? 50K for a car with a non-original engine, an Earl Schieb paint job and dog-dish hubcaps???  They couldn't even sell it as a "Hot Rod" or "Gasser Tribute"-because if it was a '60's style "Hot Rod" it would have had a 4-speed with a Hurst Competition Plus shifter, American Racing Torq-Thrust or Cragar S/S mags,a straight front axle and radiused fenderwells!!!  This was a clunker that some gearhead cobbled together with crap he had laying around, and he wants 70 grand for it???  When I saw a 69,000 mile, numbers-matching 1969 RAIV GTO with an "OW" TH400 and 4.33 Posi for $45,000 in Hemmings????  Like Smokey Robinson said-"You better shop around".
