What is your "Dream Classic Muscle Car"?
#21
On a car like that, you can get a good starter project for less than $8000 and finished car for around $30,000. That is not arm and leg territory, just a couple of fingers and toes.

The GNX used the same G-Body platform as the other Grand Nationals, warmed over significantly by ASC.

Sorry, brain fart. Not sure where I pulled the F from. Yes the GNX was the G-body and shares the platform with the Grand National, Regal, Monte Carlo, ElCamino, and Grand Prix.

I have a customer that we will be restoring his 69 Charger as soon as we finish his 69 Roadrunner.

My personal favorites would be hard to qualify. I've dealt mostly with Fords for the last 20 years so they are comfortable to go to. I almost picked up a complete 64 Fairlane from a buddy last year....My First personal project I had out of tech school that got sold was a 64 Fairlane so I've got a soft spot for them. I have a 65 and 67 Mustang Fastback basket cases that I will get to someday. I love GTX's, Road Runners, and Cudas for their lines. If I built a Chevy it would be a 64-66 NovaII. All of the above would be built Pro-touring so the hardware they come with doesn't really matter.
Awesome that you are rebuilding a car that has been in the family that long. To me this business is less about the cars and more about the people and stories behind them.
Here you go Jireh! A 70 Chevelle for you we just finished this year. Came to us as a "$200k custom build" bought by a client in south Florida. The car was so mechanically hacked we essentially stripped it down to a shell (paint was flawless) and re-built it into a legit Pro-Touring custom. Now has a 463ci BBC with a custom built pulley system, air to water intercooler for the V7 head unit and a FAST XFI fuel injection system. It puts down an easily repeatable 820rwhp. Wiring was so bad we had to cut the dash out with wire cutters so the entire car was rewired with an ISIS Power system with InMax touchscreen. No switches or keys to the vehicle. Then it got a full custom interior. When it was done the client flew out and we road tripped it 2200 miles back home.
