I'm not quite sure what he paid for it, but I'm guessing it was at/around the 50-60k mark, as that was what he originally budgeted for a build before deciding to purchase an existing one.

The closer to original specs you get, it seems the more expensive. I recently saw one for sale at a car show that had this same paint job, but a 454ci motor, and not even close to original spec trans/rear end. It was in mostly good shape (an obvious driver, no garage queen) and the guy was asking 32k.

I've been looking into building one for a few years, ERA's are great, one of the nicest kets out there. From all the research I have done, ERA's are generally in the 50-80k range. You can find more expensive kits, superformance comes complete with no drivetrain for about 70k or the more affordable route like FFR that have a wide range based on the build. I have seen these range anywhere from 25k to about 70k. With these cars as mentioned it all comes down to how you build it and what parts you choose to do so.
