It'd still be worth millions today, in that condition.
@Carlos G you are correct sir!...less 100 were produced over just a handful of years....same goes for the approximate less than 1200 or so REAL DEAL SHELBY COBRAS ...(excluding the so called spare parts cobras)...which are all documented & registered... which rusted & rotting in your driveway are $million dollar cars just for that chassis number...not to mention the only 6 SHELBY COBRA DAYTONA COUPES produced..each are $12 million.....which is just a numbers game.... if 100.000's of those cars were made like mustangs or vw bugs etc...the $$$$ numbers wouldn't be so insane 
There is it folks! THE WINNER OF THE DARWIN DEMOLISION DERBY driven Alfred Von Neuman. His finals words uttered just before the start of Nuremburg Ring's 1956 Rat Rally will never be forgotten..."What me worry?"

That rear fender arch. Iconic. Possibly the car Chuck and the other guy splashed...
Is it harsh? Or is it just true?
We know for a fact that the car the original Beck molds were taken from was a crash-repaired original. And we also know that the entire rear clip was either repaired or replaced and the shape wasn't quite right.
That’s the CMI that arajani started with, right? My Spyder is #201 so I imagine it’s one of the fabled “splashed off a repaired car” early Becks. My wheel arch doesn’t look anything like that.
The anomaly in my car is that the front end is pushed about an inch towards the passenger side, as manifested by issues with the fuel tank install and a little bit more turning radius to the left vs the right.

The story we've heard is that Chuck and the CMI guy splashed the same car, but Chuck spent time adjusting the molds so the fenders weren't so caterwhumpus. He also stretched the wheelbase slightly, and increased the overall length to make his replicas easier to fit in, and redesigned the chassis to make it easier to build and work on.
The CMI guys did none of that. They were shooting for "copy."
The rest, as they say, is history.
