It seems pretty reasonable to me , to answer your question.. It is a turn key vintage race car that is welcome at almost every vintage event in the world and it is an authentic looking extension of the original. $110K is peanuts for a front running vintage car as you probably already know. It is no less authentic for being new, the original designer is part of the group. The original cars were financed and tested by GM , so that is not going to happen but it is a really top flight piece. They are not made by the original people as I guess most of them are gone but Bill Thomas was the father of the Cheetah and he signs the MSO. On the other hand , Shelby never built anything either and he signs the MSO too, so it is similar in that respect. I have a much less expensive vintage racer, but I don't expect to win but this baby could - 1400 pounds and a dual quad 350?..
They had an original frame and body there and this is pretty much identical. I expect that the Jim Hall Chapparrals that are coming will be a lot more dough than this.
I don't think you could make one of these for any less money, you need to see one. It is really nifty
