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.
