If the Superformance GS roller is $90K, then add another $20-30K for the engine tranny if you want to replicate it. For $110K you could have a really nice vette, or maybe 2 really nice vettes. I would never spend $110K for a GS replica, but again, most people wouldn't spend what I/we spend on our cobra's either. I kind of think it's going to be a tough sell. Will they sell some, yes, but I don't think they're going to take off even close to the cobra market.

Sorry, that was my misunderstanding. You're absolutely correct. A '67 L88 would be easy to replicate in terms of what parts are needed to change it from a SB car, but I still don't want to start a ground up restification of any mid-year Vette since virtually EVERYTHING will need to be replaced. At least with an SPF GS, you could start with everything brand new, like my Kirkham or whatever manufacturer.
Brand new means more than fakey doo unless you're dealing with some rare car.
