Most expensive g body builds

[superbon54]

Some people have more money than brains. Unfortunately, I have neither. From a strict financial standpoint, a G-body is a money pit. Do it for the love of your G-body or you'll be crying about it one day.

Expensive is a relative term. Anything I want to do that I don't have enough money for is "expensive". If you had a famed race car shop build you a car from the ground up, I'm sure you'd be spending more money than a house just to get a roller. That's one place I have to draw the line. A car cannot cost more than my house.

From a financial standpoint, most vehicles area money pit. Only a small small fraction of built vehicles that get sold don’t have a loser somewhere. For every copo zr1 Hemi gt500kr, there are a thousand if not more builds that cost more than they’re worth. When “investors” don’t grasp that, we end up with a bubble.

I’ll have well north of $50k in mine when it’s done - which amortized over the 20 years it’s taking me doesn’t seem as bad - but it’s a car that means a lot to me and a dream build I don’t plan to sell. To each their own!

Well...I'm looking at about $60k in parts & labor for the build I want to do. 😳

What you trying to do?

I think its all relative to your own bank account. LOL
Some folks might consider a $10K project expensive. Other guys might think $20K. Guys with really deep pockets might think thats pocket change.

Yup, have close to 27k into mine and l know it still won’t look as nice as a lot of the cars l’ve seen on here. It’s all good cause l love the car and enjoy what l’m doing. With thanks to some of the people on here who helped me out. Wife says this is the most expensive build cause she sees it every day.

My turbo Malibu project is expensive and I haven't heard it run or drive yet since it's still in the install all parts and make part's faze of the build.
