I think the best plan is to figure out what you want set up a "buy" list with the venders you want to work with and then stay the heck off the PT boards untill you are done :D I can't tell you how much extra money I have spent because i got cool ideas or a "deal" on some neat parts that I really did not need to reach my original goals. My car is a not the car that I originaly intended to build. Blast you PT guys and your super cool stuff ;)

x3 works just as well LOL

Would be like building any custom car, sky is the limit. I would say around 100k for a good looking camaro, but no show stopper.

My goal is to have a 69 camaro pro touring type vehicle. I already have the body I bought for 7k and will buy a big block with a 6spd for 10k. I know this is a broad question but what am I looking at price wise for a completion of the car. I dont want to go extravegant but would dyno mat the whole car, repaint, which my buddy does, definately suspension of some sort and a nice interior, meaning seats and a dash. I hope this is not a dumb question, but I dont really know where to start when it comes to an old school project. If the cost is crazy, I will probly just buy a 2006 z06 for around 60k. Any help would be appreciated and thank you for listening to my thoughts.

I've been pondering bailing out of my Camaro project and buying a Z06. The trouble is, in CO at least, I'd pay $1500/yr taxes +1200/yr ins. That does not factor in depriciation on the new car.

:lol: I haven't even added mine up yet. I'm afraid. I'll be on the north side of 100k when all is said and done.:willy:

Claim it as your own, dude. I'm a giver.:D

This thread is make me dizzy. Just buy the Corvette, or better yet wait for the new Camaro when it comes out. :lol:

HaHa I will probly build a camaro and buy the vette to have for now, I thank everyone for there responses.

Looking back to the past 10 years... so what numbers you guys have over there lately?
All I know is building a badass pro tourer here in europe costs crazy numbers.:hairpullout:

100k?
I wish...

If you are looking at spending 60k... you can end up with a ZR1, not just a z06.

Unless you are looking for a 2013 z06 with mega low miles or a very rare color.

I picked up my Atomic Orange z06 (2008) from a collector in Dallas for 48k back in 2012.
