Do think three "unrestored" A-Bodies are worth $175K?

LOL! True.

If I could find a decent '68 GTS for a good price, I would sell my '70 in a heartbeat and build a clone out of it.

Why would you use a GTS to make a Hemi Dart clone? It would be the worst starting point with all the extra trim and options. Not to mention ruining a factory hipo car. You should be looking for as stripped of a slant or 318 car as you can find, and its easy to find them cheap.
