I bought my 69 firebird painted shell with a slew of extra parts in it for a heck of a deal. Had loads of DSE stuff, Vintage air, no engine and trans, paint was flawless black, mini tubbed rear end with leaves, Currie 9", lowered springs all around for $15k. The initial price was $24k on ebay. A month or two went by and several auctions later I got it for 15.
After an LS3/T56 transplant and many other upgrades (minus the 4-link, which will come later), I plan to have around $45k in it.
I know I got a steal, but IMO, some of these guys are charging way too much for shells. Keep shopping and you can find really good deals, like painted shells with most of the body work done in the $15k to $20k range.

Thanks. I need to do my research on rear ends, suspensions, frames and interiors. I would like to run an LS3 with an automatic transmission. Maybe go with a supercharger to top it off. Not sure if that would be better or a turbocharger. Never had a turbo car before, but have had a supercharger. The whine was loud.
