81 Z28 with $120,000 thrown at it

Where the hell does he think he has 120k in this car

[harbone66]

I say the auction ends at about $13K or so...

[5spd540]

I think the bid is about right at 10k

[REALZ22equipped]

haha no way was there 120k put into that car unless he was deliberately over paying for everything

My silverado has the exact same one minus the rear lights

Some folks have plenty of current but the filament still just barely glows.

I must be the only one who sees how he could have easily hit 120,000.

1. New Engine, Transmission, Drive train - 10,000 (3,000, 2000, 1500, + install)
2. Media Blast, Body Work, Seal, Prime, Paint - $30,000 (It seems high, but all the various things can add up quick)
3. Wheels/ Tires - $2,000
4. New Interior - $22,000
5. New Brakes (+ install) - $4,000
6. EFI and Assorted add-ons - $3,000
7. Electrical - $2,000
8. Misc Crap - $10,000

That brings you to $83,000, leaving a balance of $27,000. With all the different shops he used, plus he obviously "re-did" some things along the way, I can see how that could eat up another 20,000+.

No, I can definitely believe he spent that kind of money on it, and the interior is definitely one of a kind.....I just don't think it looks $115k better than mine.

[CDesperado]

I'm with ya there. There are several things he did that I think look pretty bad. Moving the ignition to the center dash couldnt have been cheap, but I think it looks weird. Using a crate motor on a car with that much invested is just flat out stupid. Plus, there is no way I would let an interior shop add that massive dog tag on my dash like they did either. That looks really cheap. I like the door design though, and lining the center console and glove box is a neat idea. I'm definitely stealing that.

There is a small toggle switch in the trunk and a button inside the center console - I wonder what those are for.




He posted the pics where his $120,000 car was appraised for $48,000 in 2010. Im surprised it was that high.

[Leonards78LT]

Me thinks he is full of it, where's the receipts?

[CDesperado]

He has some notebooks with receipts and other information. There are like 600 pics from the auction.

[Dissolusion]

Where are the sun-visors? I really want to know where he got his wiper motor!
He spent the money in labor. it would cost less than half that if he did it himself.
