speaking from experience, to build mine it was over $40,000. you cant build one for that price let alone the years of enjoyment how do you put a price on that...
by the time you buy a 1970 chevelle convertible and swap over the rear quarters and door skins, then put the body on a monte frame after swapping over the frame gussetts and the list goes way on past that....... the interior door panels made custom for a ragtop and the same for back seat covers etc.... that man hours and labour bill adds up and still no body and paintwork yet...
