For the top of the line vehicle prices will range $125,000-$300,000, These cars will be sold through Dr Detroit for information how you can be one of the few to own this iconic car. Please call Dr Detroit Motors. at 702-443-1953 and Speak with Carlos Jimenez for Technical Information You may call Robert Mangold at Back To The Future Products at 360-675-6971.

You had me until you said $125-$300k. Naw, just kidding. But seriously, although never produced and never even seen, this is a beautiful car on paper so I can imagine real life. When the first order comes in, please post pics of the build.

Nice design!

If you guys like that one -- check this 54 Nomad - built by the people I bought my frame from for the 37 Ford project...

Yes it is a nice design along with the retro front of the camaro you posted.
But IMO when potential customers are to fork out that kind of cash for what appears to be renderings only so far, its going to be a tough sale. For myself Id have to see a finished product first in lieu of being the guinea pig.
Route 66, Fesler, Mikes Custom Cars and others on this forum have production cars done to push there sales on there concepts for example. Also its hard to commit to someone who hasnt been around this forum, I noticed this is your first post and your pushing sales right off the bat.
Its a great idea, love the drawing and wish you good luck on getting these cars into production, just giving my 2 cents worth

Dave, This is Carlos from Dr. Detroit Motors love your input. These vehicles such as the Corvette Corvair, What you see is what you will get on that vehicle, The options available engines, Interior all other options are totally up to you, Because it's a totally costumed car. The Camaro these pictures are very early photoshop but I can tell you that the people that are building these cars along with me are going to make the cars the Retro inspires 2010 Camaro, Anything you can do for me, I would appreciate it. PM me if you want to talk about this.

Carlos,
Just stating what I was thinking when I seen this post. Not looking into having you do one for me, I have enough irons in the fire. Im just saying for myself and maybe others Id have to see a version of a finished production concept before making commitment to anyone. Most shops that post here show there ongoing projects or products to get future sales. As an example; its not often I see sales on products that are in just cad design or or a rendering of car frames and bodies. Some exemptions may be shops like Ring Bros or Marquis and a coulple of others showing there upcoming items in cad for preorder but they have a proven reputation that is well known here.
Again, nothing against pushing something that will look killer its was just on my mind at that time. Hope you get that customer to get this off ground.
Dave
