The car looks "COOL" but you would have a hard time reselling it...and getting your money 1/2 way back !!! Way too much money for a Modified Corvette. I would not have more that $75,000 tops in a car like that. Steve

well a 572 is about a 15k crate motor, but i agree with bg... thats 50 -60 k high... for 155 i would want a car NCRS flighted or a restomod on a Corvette Correction chassis with a LS3 or LS7 and a 6 speed....YMMV

These resto-mods are very difficult to price. A friend of mine sold a 63 SWC resto mod with an LS7 at auction for over $260,000. It was extremely well done though. It really depends on the quality of the build. Hard to assess this one by the pics and descriptions. They are basically worth what someone is willing to pay for them. They seem to bring more money with LS motors and completely new chassis. More modern creature comforts are appealing. Some people like the idea of a classic looking Corvette with the reliability of a newer Vette.

Thanks for the honest input!! after sleeping on it i am going to pass and either have one built for me ( i am talking with Todd at Classic Car Fusion, has anyone dealt with them?) or find one that has a more modern drive train, KB in Colorado

ProTeam has many restomod Corvettes listed on their website, most of those are in the $100k to $180k range.
