I was thinking the same thing.

Neat find but I agree, steep asking prices.

just remember the asking price is not the selling price.

...and don't forget: "steel is real".

What would a fiberglass replica cost?

I'm sure there will be some real bargins.

Most of that "real steel" is going to take some real strong $$$$$$ before it's a hot rod....that added to the (inflated) asking price would be a more fair comparison to the price of a good glass body...... Neat stuff though, guess it depends on how bad you want something....

Might have to let a few bux rust away first.

IMO, asking price is license to negotiate maybe 10%, or maybe 50%. It depends on the market(car/model/year, etc and the individual). Whatever it is in this case, lots of work on any of them, but regardless, still nice to see that some of the oldies are still around for resto of rodding.

His prices are also in Canadian dollars likely, so figure the exchange......
However, they are high, especially when, as an example, you can get something lke this for only around $3k more; http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/1179714642.html
