My sources say around 36 were built, but maybe Dave has more to say on that. What it is worth depends on alot of things, like the exhaust manifolds (they are worth $3500/pair) original engine/trans, 893 oil pan, 065 radiator and a few other special parts. Need more info and PICS! The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it. JB Rhinehart, Realist A-Body's RULE!

Dave has the number known. The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it. JB Rhinehart, Realist A-Body's RULE!

The cheapest I have seen was the one we got, complete rusted to death car was still $10K. Last edited by Rhinodart; 01/03/12 04:41 PM.

I remember when Vanke did his. It was a black notch car. After they took them to Detroit for the factory to see, to prototype a M code factory car, they let Arlen keep the car. He sold it to a local street racer and it did very well on the drive-in circut.
