It’s a '73 Caprice. Mint condition, $10k. From what I saw: > It’s not even DONE yet, and the owner has $150,000 into it… > > –Supercharged 572 Merlin Big Block > –TIS 30" rims w/air-bagged suspension (notice how it sits at regular height) > –Kandy Red paint (look at how deep it is) > –10 12" Kicker subs > –Complete one-off Phantom front clip > > #1—572 CID Merlin engine—$23,000 > #2—TIS 30’s—$20,000 > #3—Paint—$12,000 > #4—redone suspension w/air-bags—$7000 > #5—headlights—$450 = 62,450 - 10K car value (I’m generous today) =72,450 $150,000 - 72,450 = $77,550. Figuring in other incedentals, like a stereo, seats, etc, he’s still Over $65K in labor. :uhh: For my next trick I’ll tell you what it’ll be worth in 5 years. ---

the shop that built the car (spade kreations) says 150G’s is the complete total cost, not current. the car was at SEMA with no motor in it. > [@Spade Kreations](#): > > i dont know who originally posted on here but just to clear some things up on this … the car is being built like this because its what the owner wanted … he came to us with the car and said i want a phantom front end 30" wheels and i want to be able to roast them at will… the car is unfinished but obligated to be at SEMA … stickers are static cling and come right off … several sponsor items like supercharger,billet pully setup,brakes,video will not arrive till after SEMA. > the 572 merlinII race motor is in the car awaiting the supercharger/pulley setup and when complete will be in the 1000 - 1200hp range. when complete this car will have about 3,000 man hour in it and will be at a varity of shows in the 2007 season due to sponsor agreements but after that it will be a street car > thanks to those who appreciate it… > > also the 150g ballpark is completed not current… and i would like to know for the guy who estimated on the first page where you buy real Rolls Royce Phantom lights at for 450.00 because all our dealer price would get us is a little under 1,700.00 PER light. > > thank you > > if you would like to see some of our other work please visit [http://www.spadekreations.com](http://www.spadekreations.com/) i can think of better ways i’d spend 150K, but that thing is bad ass.
