Impala  
$12,000 for car with decent body, motor barely ran  
$6,000 for random things to keep it running, so now I have a car with an ok body, thank you construction zone and freezing rain, and major timing issues

Yukon  
$25,000 with 8 miles on it  
probably around $9,000 to get it the way that I like it, if i was smart I would just sell the stereo and just buy a blower

"95 Z-28 ragtop bought new in '95 for ~$23,000. Spent at least twice that much on it, but did recoup some of that by selling parts I upgraded.

It might be easier to list the major systems that have NOT been modified, upgraded, or replaced. It still has a stock radiator and uses a stock PCM (with add-ons and reprogramming). Otherwise, I think everything else has been replaced or extensively modified.
