The RCR Deluxe Plus Kit is $42,000. Add paint, engine, transaxle, installation and assembly by Fran, I'd think you would hard-pressed to spend an addtional $130,000.
But you can get an SPF for less than "$170,000"...an advert with an asking price does not the market make. And does the 62K "Turnkey" include paint, headers, A/C system, etc.. I ask this not as a smartarse, but I really don't know. And again, the RCR is a great car but it is different than the SPF. One is an homage to the GT40 and one is a "replica" in the true sense. Again, one is not "better' than the other, but a different interpretation of the 60s FAV car.

I will gladly sell my SPF MK II listed at 128K for 170K if you really want it! And I don't think Fran can do the full assembly as well as engine and transaxle, that would violate the federal regulations as he would be an "automotive manufacturer and therefore subject to all FMVSS standards.
