Jordan, my guess would be that your numbers so far are pretty close, though the whole chassis with the indi rear and all could go a bit higher. A Gabe interior is probably an easy $10, the paint work around $15. Those one off wheels (at least the first set )weren't cheap either. You know there were a couple a ton of overtime hours in there. I'm sure the owner didn't set the deadline to make SEMA, more likely it was Coddington dovetailing with the TV bit. So did he cut the guy a "deal" on that part of it? NOT LIKELY! All up I'd have to guess that thing went out the door close to $200 maybe even north of that. Gotta pay for that Coddington name ya know!!

I heard the owner claim it was the nicest '56 in the world. Well, as long as he believes that I guess that's okay. I've seen the car, and it's nice, very nice...............................but not the nicest I've ever seen. There are lots of folks who will be shocked and scoff at this kind of price/car, but it's the reality of a high level pro built car. And there are guys who've earned the dough to be able to afford it. And hey, it's their money, they can spend it any way they want.
