      Beautiful car! I'm sure there's way more money invested in it than the asking price. 110 doesn't seem out of line at all provided it drives as good as it looks.

      Those wheels are bad ass.

      Beautiful car. For that kind of money I'd honestly prefer an all AL Pontiac over a BBC, but an AL BBC is a decent alternative lol.

      Stock door panels and manual windows seem out of place on such a high dollar car, but doing some quick math, I can imagine it would cost around $100k to duplicate that build, so I can't say the price is high.

      There's a 68 Firebird on ebay right now for $95k. It's still on leaf springs LOL!!! Comparing this car to that one, this is a way better buy.

      I think it would look good in my garage, if you need a place to stash it or something

      Beautiful car. I have a similar project and so I have a good feel for what it would take to replicate what's listed. Assuming it runs/rides as good as it looks, I think $110 is fair. For what it's worth, I like the factory looking interior. I have to look into Gauge Marks...

      Door panels are made to look stock but not... They are done with the same inserts and materials from the seats. I am a big fan of the old saying "stock but not" as reflected though out the build. one could say it's just my quirk, but hey good eyes. The reason the doors have manual cranks is that the car was started as a project years ago and the focus was weight. I was at the time trying to build a crazy trackday car that could be street driven and the purchaser wanted to move toward a finer finished car. The doors on this car are Carbon fiber and the electric regulators would have been an even bigger pain in the ass to retrofit as we designed a crash bar into the doors that left things extremely tight for space.....

      In a nut shell, good eye and if started over again I'd likely consider the electric windows, and maybe consider doing a little more interior work to separate it from stock more readily...
