Im into my 65 Corvette for about $140k with $10k to go. You could subtract $20k or so for the premium paid for a C2 versus a Camaro. I didn't do the work myself but I did select and buy all of the parts.
Ive learned a lot and hope to build my 68 Corvette for about half the cost of the C2. Chrome bumper (68-72) C3 project cars are dirt cheap and make for a nice project. I bought mine two years ago for $2500, and there are several in the $5k range currently.
A used C6 Z06 can be had for $35k-$45k. Another great deal is the discounts on the new Z28. I almost pulled the trigger on one for $55k with ac.
Discipline must be maintained while building, lol. It is easy to get distracted with the latest and greatest. Changes in the build midstride can get very costly.
