With a 30-45K camaro, it would be pretty stock suspension, older paint but still nice, But very reliable, probably small block, or big block or LS1 but not done super nice under hood with an LS.

45-60K camaro would have and LS engine modern billet wheels, probably an LS engine, with possibly aftermarket suspension, Nice new paint but not show stopping perfect.

60-100k - Definitely after market suspension, probably LS7 or higher, mini tubbed, high end detailed interior. Possibly lots of professional quality work.

My questions, Does one suspension MFG command more resale value over another? Does the high resale value make it worth the added cost and possibly labor to install?

How much more money is a car worth that has great stance?

Do mini tubbed cars command enough money to pay for the additional labor expense on a street car? Or does the matter more when the car has bigger horsepower?

Does say an LS9 command alot more money then say an LSA? Or even more if it was a high end builder like Kurt Urban, Mast, Wegner?

What is the ideal platform to make money on in the Gas Monkey Garage kinda builds that are built for resale? Camaro..... Obviously rust free is an obvious first start.

Just wondering.
