Well Done. that s one sweet ride. Definetly worthy of being in your stable brother. With Eleanor and Merc and this your American Muscle is complete. You have an exotic and then you are going to need some freaky ****. I am doing some reseaarch on vettes myself. It seems to be a real possibilty but from what I found out the price should be around 25 and not 35onthat specific one. I will keepyou updated.

Nice car. But if you have the patience to get one built, you can get ALOT more car for the same, if not less...money.

That car looks "off-the-shelf" to me...the dash, seats, wheels, etc. The worst thing about the engine compartment are the "poser" Edelbrock carbs. For that kind of $$$, it should have some time of injection and forced induction...IMO.

^ I agree that the interior seems like a decently put together combo of eBay specials- it has a Dodge Neon vibe!

The exterior is a whole different story. The only two things I'm not feeling are the exhaust tips, and the brushed aluminum wheel barrels. The idea is great but I'd take it one step further and de-chrome everything and put that same brushed aluminum finish. It would be BAD ***!

One thing's for sure, my 69 project will have ***** envy.

You're nuts if you drop $160k on that... Unless it's a very special Vin (which it won't be) it's high 80's low 90's max. And thats if the bodywork is REALLY nice on it, which on a semi-production car is questionable at best.

Beautiful car, but it would be a lot more fun to spec out a custom one for yourself. Plus I would go injected absolutely.

I would expect some type of programmable EFI with forced induction as well for that money. 650 HP is not a good trade off for all that weight on the front.

Nice car but not worth $160k. Definitely build one to your specifications for that kind of coin.
