$50K for a small block maybe. No way you're going to get a sideoiler in it for $50K.

I agree. I'm building my ERA myself, doing just about all the work including paint. Using a Keith Craft built 428 and toploader and there isn't any way it is going to come in for under $55K. A sideoiler would probably be another $3K on that. And ERA kit prices have gone up $2K since I took delivery of mine.

..great looking car...if you really want to sell it lower the price to reflect the age and color....pouring money into changing carpets, seats etc....doesn't make sense....the price your
($45K) asking is in the neighborhood of a new car..if people are going to spend $45K for a toy they will spend $5 to $10K more to get a new car in the color of their choice
