< like the ones where you are susposed to cut a few inches off the cradle and then weld it back together >
the suspension under my 66 is a nine inch with panhard and a four bar system.
im not talking about a rare case..
i see them all the time for around that here in texas good running cars are around 14 k if you want something some what cleaned up then youl spend around 18-25 k depending on the amount of work etc.
hell uniqe performance just went bankrupt and i saw over 19 shells that went for under 5 grand at that auction
my budy cleaned up he scored a 71 cuda for 6500 and sold it with out touching anything for 12,500 on ebay it had already been soda blasted and put into primer

I decided to go the IRS route because it is different.This rear will handel around 1000hp and my Shelby motor is supposed to put out about 850.It's easy to install a straight axel,I wanted something rather unique. I'm a huge Mustang fan and recently sold a 69 Prostreet Mustang that went to Canada.I also own an original 69 GT500 fastback.
Humm,I was a bidder at the UP auction trying to score another shell.The problems with the lower dollar shells was the poor craftsmanship and 8 gallons of silly puddy per panel.
Oh,and those 19 shells your mentioned,take a look at the attachment of what your getting for 5k.The cheap ones were very,very poor workmanship and that's why they sold so low.So I suppose the theory holds true that there are just more Camaro shells for realatively low $$.And the aftermarket crowed cators the Chevy.
