With a SPF 'glass Slabside in the classifieds for 97K I'd sat that makes this one a bargain....But of course both are ridiculously overpriced.

I don't know - IMHO I wouldn't say that SPF Slabside is ridiculously overpriced. That is a really nice car and except for the body material, very faithful to the originals. It's priced significantly under what he has in it as the original owner which reflects these replicas will seldom be worth what it costs for the initial build. Assuming he has a little room to move on the price, if I were in the market for a slabside I think it would be looking at it closely.

I'm already on record elsewhere about the SPF seller's ad being a bit hyperbolic, but when you say the car is priced significantly under what he or she has invested, I have to question the authenticity of spending $25,000 on a "date coded" 289 and a Toploader. I haven't had an engine built in a while, but that sounds like a joke to me.

Otherwise it's a cute car.

I agree the $25k sounds a bit suspicious for the engine and toploader. KC built my FE and toploader - vintage heads, intake, block, transmission and I probably ended up somewhere around $15 to 16K total. It's certainly not date coded - more like "decade" coded. Still think if you could buy that car for around $90-92k I would not have any second thoughts about it.
