1968 Custom Pro Street Camaro - 1000 Horsepower - New Everything! on 2040-cars

 Because it would take 10,000 words to explain the complete build of this vehicle, I put together an 11 minute video of the complete build and interested bidders can send me a message and I will be more than happy to send you the link to the video.

Plain and simple - I have $75,000 in parts alone invested in this car. I have over 1000 hours of labor - nearly 1700 hours to be exact. The certified appraisal valued the car at $153,000. No, I'm not asking $153,000. I will say that to me this awesome 68 pro street camaro is priceless! Of course I'm the one who has all the sweat in this completed project so I can say that.

While this car has nearly 1000 naturally aspirated horsepower - I never built it with the intention of racing. I built this car for show and to freak people out when I drive it on the street. This car is nothing to play around with. You must respect this car and the power it has or it will kill you. This car is NOT for kids or someone who wants to showoff by displaying it's power on the street. Like I said, this car has an extremely high amount of power and it is dangerous if you don't respect it. I did the calculations and based on horsepower and weight of vehicle this car would accelerate from 0-100 mph in approximately 3 seconds. Yes, 3 seconds! Of course you could never do that on the street because the car would not get enough traction.

Okay, with that said if you want one of the baddest looking classics in the world - here is your chance. I am selling because I simply don't drive it and I got tired of the car shows. That simple. This car is awesome and I did not cut any corners when I built it all.

I would have included the link to the site where you can view a video of the build but eBay no longer allows this. Send me a message and then I can send you the link to the video so you can view it along with the complete details of the appraisal.

 Wanted to say that I do have the hood off the car to give a better view of the engine.
