OK, that sounds about right. I was flipping muscle cars in that time period. The Cosworth I had was a black '75 and it was in perfect condition. The guy I bought it off was an Indy car mechanic and that Cosworth ran perfect. I bought it for $3500 and sold it quickly for $5K which was good money at the time.
