Plenty of 8-12k S1 out there for those wanting drivers, a 5k S1 is something that should remain a time warp car.
As I said a car like that is a museum exhibit that will never get driven. The thing is about it even the best restored one will never be as good as an original low mileage one. There will probably be a couple of things on it which are not quite perfect as it was a mass produced model and this is what makes it so desirable.It would be nice if cars like this were in a Ford museum so everyone could get a chance to see it not just a few friends of the collector.
