Mecum Thursday, Another Duster goes for big bucks

In the late '90's My Bud worked with another well-known body guy, top notch stuff, awards etc. A customer wanted to save a '68 Firebird, no Ram-Air option gold here, it was in bad shape. Before a complete 1st gen F-body was a reality, many structural parts were hand made/fabbed, they tried to talk Him out of it but He insisted. When it was over the body & paint alone cost $48K, put that in current Dollars, then add interior/upholstery, drivetrain, lamps, trim, etc. & figure a today total. Just sayin'.
