That wasn't the question. I got my 1969 GTO for $500.00 years ago. You can't buy a shell for that today unless you get really lucky.

I think my question was very valid. What does it cost to buy a really good muscle car and build it into a really good Stocker? I bet you could easily spend the $89,000.00 sticker price that my new COPO carried.

It is a bracket race, the rest of this is nonsense .

Evidently you don't have them in your class, right Tony?

Yes, there are few, select racers that I can think of that have probably spent that kind of dough on an older stocker. Is that the answer you're looking for to justify all of the money you spent?

Jim, some can and have built fast regular cars before writing the check.
Others only got fast after.

That is true but 279 Hp is pretty soft for a LT-1 in SS/JA

Not as soft as the DP cars. If your the whiz you seem to think you are you should put one together and show us all how to do it.
