Can I have your opinion?

Nice...must be local to me here Keith.

Nice car but I have no clue as to it's value.

Beautiful car!

Malibu Convertible + whatever the LS6 and SS parts would sell for = clone value

or

The value of joy and satisfaction you derive from owning and driving it!

Very nice car but from my own experience the market is a little soft for anything but real documented cars.

I would place the value on how much you want to spend for a clone. It's hard to pay what it would cost, but, invariably whomever built it will probably have too much in it and not be able to recoup the cost. I would look just how far he went, date coded parts for car, is the cowl tag the same color and was it coded for big block, etc. The purpose for you to buy it is to drive it. Don't compare it to what an original LS6 would go for, you will pay too much. MY opinion is $75,000-$100,000. Good luck and if you do buy it, drive it like you stole it.i wouldn't base it off the Barrett jackson booze and auction hype.If it looks as good as the pictures show, remove the cragars, $75,000 north.I recently bought the most beautiful Thunderbolt clone with date coded everything, aluminum fenders, fiberglass hood & trunk, 427 side oiler at 1/5 of the cost of a real one. I am cloning my 69 Rallye Green Yenko Nova as we speak.

Pretty fair assessment. If the car is as good as the photos indicate I'd guess he has more invested than what the car will appraise for.

We saw a nearly identical car at the ACES show in 2003. An absolute gorgeous clone, and the owner was totally up front about it being such. I first thought this might be that car but closer looks at your pictures tells me it's not the same car.

My advice to people asking values of cars like this has always been, "If you like it and can afford it, buy it. If you're ashamed of what you gave for it, don't tell anyone. It's none of their business anyway!" Good Luck with whatever decision you make.

Looks like it will take $115K to buy it... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevrolet...108174029QQrdZ1

I'm with Howard on the value...

The car you are thinking of belongs to Andy Haas. A completely honest and straight shooting guy who has a beautiful clone. See attachment.

That's it, I just couldn't remember his name. Beautiful car, done right! If I recall correctly, it even had you questioning the authenticity for a few minutes. Andy was very quick to step up and tell us it wasn't what it appeared to be. Classy guy.

That's definitely a cool car. Does he drive it? I know I would...
