It's nice but wow that's pricey. Considering it has drums on the back and the front suspension is all stock. Chrome plated rotors lol. It's a pretty paint job.

I guess its ok Im not a big fan of 67-69 Camaros but why would you spend 400k thats just gonna sit and look pretty instead of run? Just my opinion.

I agree with both of you. It would not cost $400k to do that to that car. For example the 7 sec drag week winner Denny Terzich's 580 bbc pro charged 67 camaro was a show quality built car that could drive on the highway on 87 octane and then run 7's at the track. His car had no expense spared and it was appraised at $120k. he sold it for $95k.

It'd be a nice car put in a cloection if you had the money. What he is asking and what he gets will be two different things I would imagine even if he went to Barret Jackson!! Pretty car but 1500 hp out of a 396? doubt it even with the nitrous. Anyway, it's not a race car it's a show car.

Back in the 60s the Beach Boys had a song on one of their albums that fit the car perfectly.The title was "She's Ah No Go Show Boat". I think that pretty much covers it.

TRAILER QUEEN! 10 to 1 compression with a 14-71? The hood is intact, so I'm betting it has never been cranked.

I guess sitting on your yacht and have someone build a car around a door handle @ $500 an hour adds up???
I hate listening to people say they have $25000 in their car only to see included is the past 25 sets of tires, pine cone air fresheners and and wax jobs every other day!

I think that's the stupidest thing I've ever seen done to a car.

I think that is the same car that I know. It was called "Total Insanity". A friend of mine owned it. It does run. Car was sold sometime last year for less than $100k. It has won the awards it lists and it used to be driven to some local shows. The new owner just updated it and gave it a new paint job. Car is so over the top though. It was built to show at indoor shows, gold class, etc. and not worth $195k!!
