Pro-touring cars now are selling for big $$$, and first gen Camaro's are big $$$. Although, I never built mine to sell. I built it solely because it is my first car, and I plan to drive it. I have owned my 67 since 1983, but I always wanted it to handle like my 1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350. We spent lot of time on mine, but it was ideas that I had in the past.

I'm building a 68 with a pro touring auto x set up, not for drag. I build a car drive it around, if I get bored I post it up for sale and keep driving it till it sells, simple as that. But I'm really cautious on how much I spend on a build because I use that money from selling that car to build something bigger and better the next time around - simple as that. Maybe I'll love the car to death and will never wanna sell it Who Knows! until I start driving it.

I like building cars and bikes and this will be the 6th one I've built. I kinda go stir crazy if I don't have something to work on.
