Yep, he may have spent that much or more but you can't expect to make it all back, especially in this economy. It does look like a nice ride though.
I got one of those files full of receipts too ,I would bet most of us do. I have spent so much money on the El Camino over the past 30 years it's mind boggling. I even have it insured for a boat load of money. But I know there is no way I could sell the car in this economy for any where neer what I have in it.That is just a fact. 
Wow if im payin $45,000 for a Gbody it would have to be a Grand National. Thats about the only one that would get close to that much money!
I was about to say the price wasn't to bad. But then I realized I was looking at the top bid, not the reserve. :shock:
Alright. Right off the bat i see Factory control arms, which means with all the power it handles sloppy. Bushings and ball joints can only do so much.
Is he crazy? yeah, But the 2 bidders are more of a nut job then he is.
45k buy it now? LOLLLLLLLLL I could almost build TWO of those for that price.
Scratch that, i COULD build two of those for that price.
Granted he did a pretty baller ****ing job tubing the trunk, and even made it look nice in the rear seat area. But I'd have done an even better job, with fiberglass.
That 502 is t*ts. Turbo 350 though? really? You'll never see that car on the highway.
What really gets me is that from the description and pictures it doesn't look like he's done much at all with the suspension setup. Which sucks, because our cars from the factory didn't handle very well.
And more importantly, i wonder if he's got any frame braces installed, or if he boxed the frame. With that setup, and no reinforcement you're doomed for problems. sh*t the g_body frames flex alil under the power load of the stock drivetrain. With 600HP that mother****er will probably eat the white walls right off the face of the tires on tight turns!
That's my 2 cents, nice car though.
