Ok its working now. I say…not worth it at all.
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
#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
= $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.
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.
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

i can think of better ways i’d spend 150K, but that thing is bad ass.
EDIT: pic from SEMA
