Jody:

I understand what you are saying, and I'm in no way trying to Bash someone's car, but in the interest of education, I'd like to know what makes it a $250-$300k dollar car?

It isn't bashing to ask that question is it?

I would personally think there are almost no cars that fall into this category, but I would really like to learn.

I've seen a lot of cars over $100,000, and it it easy to see how one could spend that kind of money on a number of many car you would see on this site.

To reach those levels I would expect for there to be several things going one. Specifically:

1. A very Rare Number Matching completely original car.

2) A very exclusive exotic car form Italy, Germany etc.

3) A Car of Major Historical Importance


This is an incredibly nice, beautiful, extremely well done car with the top of the line products associated with the/in the, "Pro-Touring", Style of Build.

The LS-7 is a great Engine, I wish I had one. Baer Brakes are TOTL Brakes in this area of car building. The Chevelle is always a favorite car of mine especially the '70 LS6.

Is it the hours into this build that are driving the dollar amount of the car to that level, or is this a Market Driven Price?

If it is Market Driven, who is the market?

$150-$200k will buy a lot of "Chevelle" no matter where you look, if it DOESN'T fall into the 3 things listed above, won't it?

Please don't take this as anything other than someone under educated in top of the line cars. No bashing intended whatsoever, just an education.

I certainly can't be the only one on this forum wondering.

Sincerely,

Ty O'Neal
