$70k for the swap? That seems excessive

Really cool though, I'd swap the wheels back to stock

I so desperately want to iron the front end, just to get rid of the wrinkles.

At the $2k it's bid up to, definitely. I could maybe see $5k, if the conversion appears to be well done underneath. At the $32k Buy it now price, mega-super-crackpipe.

He had to convert it from FWD to RWD

What did he have to do?

Custom fabricate the WHOLE front and rear subframes

Engine cradle

Front and rear suspension

Trans linkage

Trans mounts

Custom Exhaust

Transmission tunnel

Whole floorpan ripped out and redone

F-body Dogbox for trans

Custom intake system

Custom fuel system

Etc. etc

Then you factor in the cost of the donor F-body which in 2005 would probably have been around $15k

It's A LOT of work to do something like this

All that work and yet he stuck with the F-body rear? I guess it must have been a space issue?

I liked it until I saw the paintjob and the wheels.

All that work, and it just has a stock LS1 and a 4LslippingE? Why not just buy a Vette or F-body?

Or...you could buy a Camaro SS for the same price and get a factory warranty.

I like sleepers, I just don't like them that much.

I'm pretty sure with an S-10 frame, a wrecked late model GM truck drivetrain, a spare Monte Carlo body, a buddy with welding skills and a few 6-packs, you could replicate this car for 10k.
