How long of a project was this vette?

 

[Barry]

WOW, if I sold my house I MIGHT be able to buy it!!!!!
Great job!!!!

 

[chevman]

Excellent build, and good choice of appointments.
The only problem is that in the video, it seems the headliner has rubbed some hair off your head.

That was a fun ride!

I was building this with a sister car, a 66 convertible for all of '21.

 

[ksungela]

My dream is to get a car on the gallery of the SPI website. Heck, maybe even on a shipping box. If anyone knows any of the big wigs at SPI, please put in a good word for me.

Great work Ken. If ever a car deserved to be on the front of the SPI catalog it would be one of yours.

 

[1A Rock]

Your work is impressive as always! I don't think I could make myself part with any of the rides you have shown. I takes a certain vision and nerve to restomod a car that would be worth triple digits with just a nice paint job. I'm also impressed that you keep finding cars to build to this level.

 

[JC Daniel]

I only wish I had half that talent!

You do absolutely stunning work. There is nothing easy about any of it and you get it done in spades that's for sure.

top shelf as always ken . beautiful car .

 

[ksungela]

thanks guys. The auction is ending today, so we'll see how it goes. Its getting harder and harder to sell these things after they're done.

 

['68 Coronet R/T]

Bid is at 200k.
How much do you have into it? I have looked at doing a split window for myself but couldn't afford one in need of total restoration.

Two of these quality in a year is pretty darn amazing. It really has the perfect look IMO for a resto mod. Awesome stuff Ken.

Little over an hour to go on the auction. My prediction is a flurry of late bids and it hits $250K.

68 I would bet that Ken has well north of 100K in it.

Beautiful work K.

 

[Chris_Hamilton]

Shows you what I know. 305k and reserve not met.

 

[ksungela]

Yeah, certainly over $100k into it. Shop's are charging $400k+ for these things now. 305 was just too light for all the detailed work done on it. A couple sold for $380K+ over the past few months on BaT so I thought I would get close to that.

I was watching the closing minutes and rooting for you Ken. Too bad it didn't bring what you needed it too.
