We have stretched a Hummer, and done numerous custom vehicles for customers. All you need to buy then is the power rams and pads for the covertible top, if you want it to be power. Make all of the brackets and convertible cage out of a pattern with a jig. If a guy has the knowledge it can be done, and you don't have to buy crap parts to do it. Not a factory issued rare collectible.Īnd yes, I am sure I could build that car with new paint for $8700. For crying out loud, this is a chopped up and put together 91 RT N/A convertible. 8700 for a convertible stealth is still a good buy, even for a dohc model.Ĭlick to expand.You are comparing apples to oranges, when you speak of a 96TT or a Shelby. They'll still be higher priced than the run of the mill production cars, but not to the same extent that shelby does.Īs far as the turbo goes, the seller openly admitted it wasn't a turbo car, you can also tell it wasn't originally by the auto transmission, but if straman put in the turbo as well it may not have the same piping as a factory car would. The foose cars won't be the highly sought after collectibles that boyd's cars are. Boyd Coddington on the other hand yes I would if I had 100k waiting to get burnt. Sure they don't pay off like stock in starbucks, but how many people here actually got into Starbucks on the ground floor? or Google for that matter? I'm sure you bought your 96 TT because it was cheap and had depreciated? if so you could have got a 91 much cheaper.Ĭhip Foose? I wouldn't buy one of his conversion cars. If you buy a rare car and keep it nice, the cars can indeed be a good investment. Just try to convince muscle car owners that their cars aren't good investments, seeing as we've seen their values increase 100 fold since we bought them.

The convertible makes the car rare in itself, and it also is by a nationally recognized shop (at the time at least) Just try to convert a hardtop car into a convertible for 1500 or even 4000, I got news for you, it isn't going to happen that cheap. If I was having my reputation as a master builder.or a product manufacturer such as Ford Racing or chip Foose designs.or even a show like what Over Haulin is supposed to be.I'd be doing everything possible to insure that this car was 100% and then some.įrankly.if the car was 100%.I see the starting bid as excessive considering that the only things really special about this car is its history since it was taken to make that episode of Over haulin.Ĭhip and Crew.and Ford racing needs to make this cat right in all respects.or their credibility is what is in question here.Our cars are already old. If I were Ford Racing or Chip Foose.No way would I allow the owner to sell this car with noted imperfections such as paint flaws or overheating issues with only a few minutes run time.and 76 miles on it since it was completed. $75,000 starting bid for a "Retro-Rod Mustang with nmerous flaws after only a years time has passed? Give me a break. Maybe I'm being too picky.or maybe I'm just to much of a perfectionist to find this scenario acceptable from a number of perspectives.
