Oh, it may very well be, once its media blasted, missing body panels replaced, mechanicals refurbished and restored inside and out.

I think the real value is the VIN plate. Very little will be original after it’s restored.
The only thing they can really do is restore it to the original build sheet. Anything other than that is speculation unless they can have verified records from Shelby. If Carroll Shelby was still alive then he could attest to some configuration or other.
Right now it looks like junk but Jackson has access to serious cash and the top restoration people in the country. Time is money for him...
