Looks like a pretty fair price for what it is, maybe. Just the paint, bodywork, motor and trans could account for 20K or so.

Depending on who did the work there's probably that much in it. On the other hand recovering that much of an investment may be a totally different story.

Smoking Crack. No matter how much he put in it is's still not worth $55K. I'm sure he'll find some sucker out there though as there is one born every second.

One 75 vert is worth that much. The LAST C3 vert ever made. Maybe. Don't care how nice. Don't care how much was spent in it.

It would have to have a tube frame coilover suspension and LS powered

Absolutely dreaming. It looks like he has spent about $25K on it, but we all know you don't get that back.

I really like C3 restomods, but even a chrome-bumpered one with this powertrain isn't going for $55k... maybe $40k. A '75... low-30s. It's a well-done car, though.

You guys apparently don't know what the motor is .

That 427 has SB2 the older NASCAR heads and intake on it. The engine alone could cost 25 - 30 grand. With all the man hours and the dry sump it might be 10-15 grand installation. Another 5 grand for the tranny and clutch to take on 681 hp

I'm not justifying the 55, but if that is all professionaly done the seller is taking a big loss

It's hard to take the seller seriously if he can't spell TREMEC correctly. He may have spent that much farming out the work to make a cool custom car, but he won't get it back.
