I mean, I'm sure there are other stockers. I really don't like Pro-Touring stuff but it's honestly not that big of a deal. Especially if the guy kept all the original parts

When I bought my '69 Z I was told the story that a previous owner was interested in the pro-touring style and off-hand asked for a quote from a high-end SoCal shop for what it would take starting with this Z. Mercifully the shop straight up refused to do it to this car. So thankfully some shops like that do exist and say no!

For those curious, the seller states the original drivetrain and other parts come with the car if sold -------

"Throughout this build most of the original parts were kept such as engine, transmission, rear differential, all suspension, original front subframe and good small parts which are bagged and labeled. Good condition interior parts were kept as well. There are several pallets that will accompany this sale if the buyer wants it. Also, the original metal hood was fitted, prepped and painted to the same high quality as the rest of the car and is included.

Why wouldnt you just use a clean body 1970 Camaro instead of tearing everything out of an original car like this. You would have the same result. Just doesnt make any sense.

Wow.... just read the comments from the dealer

The build cost $375K. We are a high end shop. We have every penny accounted for if you would like to come see the receipts. This is what high end work at a professional shop with craftsmen costs. We are not a hobby shop.
375k! Ouch

Ha! $375k...I don't believe it for a second...but even if it were 1/4 that amount, I'd be surprised if you would recover the build cost.

I can't see that being accurate. BUT also being involved with some stuff in the past, these places "book" hours like crazy and sometimes there not accurate but they are accounted for. I've SEEN where the supervisor "looks" over the deal, talks for 20 mins but books a 4hr min. time on the project.

If that is there cost, and they lose $200+, this shop won't be open a whole lot longer.

I don't understand why the original certified car did not have a black grille?
