I didn't even realize that the hood opened!

I think it is fine for what I paid for it although I think the paint is a bit off color. It is not a car that I've studied much. My interest has more to do with how it ties into the Shelby American story and the Southern California racing community that gave us racers like Gurney and Miles.

I understand the reasoning behind the box - it is always because the 'other guy' will care.
