Mike,

I personally do not car for the Eleanor cars, but that's just my opinion... if we all liked the same things, the world would be a pretty boring place. I think it's horrible what happened to you and the other people that got screwed. My honest opinion is that you could buy that shell and flip it and make a couple grand, given the fact that Shelby's agreed to license it (although I agree with all of Pete's points on that, all that matters to your decision is that CS will license it). If you had a line on a painter, you could put a quick paint job on it and probably make even more (a shop would probably be cost prohibitive). Ultimately, though, I think you're the only one who has all the information that you need to decide what you want to do. I agree with those opinions above that state that you may not be able to get the $50K out of it. Prices may go soft as the general public becomes more familiar with the Unique story. I think a lot of people are still unaware that they've gone belly up. Additionally, as we all know, builds have a way of blowing budgets... almost every time. So, is it worth it to become emotionally invested in something that has a lot of bad memories and shattered expectations for a quick flip of a couple grand or at best, a long lead time for $20K-$50K? That's something only you can answer, knowing how attached to the car you were and what your financial situation is. Personally, I'd do the quick flip (plus a paint job, just because I know a phenominal painter who works pretty affordably), but I don't care for the car, and I'm not as well off as you are so it wouldn't drain me emotionally and I could use the money to put towards my future Shelby fund.

Whatever you decide, I hope it works out well for you.

Josh
