Off the top of my head a 69 COPO Camaro or maybe a 69 TA. I build quite a few rare engines and always get a bit nervous in regards to theft. I try to be clever and take precautions like I did with this 1968 RA 2 engine.

Probably the most expensive car I ever worked on I am not at liberty to talk about for another 27 years.
But - I will post this random photo for no particular reason. K

I was told his car was worth between $220,000 and $245,000 (if he sold it. Low mileage car.) Sounds like a massive amount of money vs the original cost of the car from Shelby. Tom V.

Probably this Corvette. I had to do emergency body and paint work to it after my employer damaged it. The owner at the time had paid over 500K at auction. It is a well known car in survivor condition. The body damage I repaired was never disclosed and documented. This was after the Nabor brothers had their hand in it. https://www.corvetteblogger.com/2009...ette-Roadster/
I’ve restored others that sold in excess of 200K. |

I had a 1936 ford coupe, 1960 T-Bird and 1967lincoln, all made of stainless steel in my shop at the same time. Not sure what they cost, but I would guess the combined value to be over a million. Had the 36 in by itself a couple of times. I'd like to thank Allegheny Ludlum Steel and Hall industries for the pleasure. There were 6 of the 36 coupes made with only 4 remaining, 3 of the 67 lincolns were made and 2 of the 1960 T-Birds. All three have had starter and generator work done by Stellar Generator in Pittsburgh Pa.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
