Hope it's ok to post pics here... went to Mc cann corvett & muscle car shop in Rosemont IL yesterday... thought you guys might like this car.... this car will be judged 'gold' (i know the resto shop very well... Magnum restorations... great guy)

What's that restoration cost ? 75000?

 

[Davews]

I watched the progress on the resto... you can view the resto on Magnums web site...

[Davews]

I know the shop well.... way more

 

[polara71]

Got any more of the display sign

 

[Davews]

Well, actually I shouldn't say 'way' more... feel comfortable saying more....

 

[polara71]

I know the shop well.... way more

So 100000 ?

 

[Davews]

Let me check.... there were two but I was really having trouble getting pics... they would have let me in to get more pics but it was packed and I had to get back home

 

[Davews]

Sorry, not readable.... I can have him send me the pics though after the show... ends today

I'm glad these guys are saving the cars. So much has been ignored over the years . If that car had been recognized by a C body guy back then it wouldn't have been as bad as it had gotten .

So few c body lovers back then it's not surprising so many went unnoticed

That level of restoration, depending on the original condition of the car, is normally $100K+

This car collecting hobby isn't for the faint of heart.

Please, I can only see half . It's cool to know a cars complete history

 

[Davews]

Not sure he would want me to reveal the costs.... I'll ask later

 

[polara71]

rhetorical really . I couldn't imagine, you've said enough

Bob Baker posted some pictures on FB. In this one you can read at least some of the sign.

 

[azblackhemi]

Sorry, guess it's not any better than what's already posted.

 

[Davews]

Yep... your paying $85 to $100 per hour ... the extent of this resto I'm sure exceeds 1000 hours.... plus two other parts cars, plus materials.... I know first hand from my Super Bee

 

[Davews]

I texted the owner of the shop and asked for two pics of the story boards... when he sends them I'll post em (assuming he has time today)

You and I Dave have always had similar tastes
