No. Nothing really extraordinary about a 427 Cobra. Now if it had a special racing history, or something along those lines.

Say for exameple, The car that Dale Earnhardt died in at Daytona; should that car be preserved as it was once Dale was rescued from it, i.e. put in a museum, or should it be rebuilt so we could all enjoy a chance to drive it or see it race again?

When 20 was on the RGS and being used on a daily basis, it was a commodity. Just like a brand new 1955 chevy, or a brand new 1923 Model T. Just something to use. If it broke down, it got fixed by the craftsmen on the RGS, in the RGS shop, using the technology of their time. Now that the RGS is gone, 20 has a historical significance to it that I believe would best be left alone.
