Ha!
I agree with you 100% with regard to the rear wing addition ( Indicative of young age/ demographics I believe), yikes!! Other than that, these young men did some very high-quality repair and restoration work.

 

Agree on the wing. I gave the vid a watch. Cant stand the music overlay coulda done without that and the wing. They did decent work but I wonder what the all-in cost was after buying the salvage LC, all the parts, paint & labor costs. Has to be approaching 85k-100k. Would just buy a CPO for that.

Imagine insuring a salvage/rebuilt LC!! Still credit where it is due they saved an LC from the scrap heap.

 

Thanks. I was the first person with hands on them. Truly special Inspiration Series cars. I just would have to wear white pants lol.

 

Insuring a salvage/rebuilt vehicle is no different than any other car and it really depends on what state you live in. Some people hear salvage/rebuilt and just assume negative things. In no way did the cost to rebuild that vehicle approach 85k-100k. That’s a wild speculation especially with them doing all the work themselves. A normal body shop wouldn’t charge 85k-100k unless they were robbing you blind.

 

I meant all-in costs. Including what they paid for the salvage auction. And even though they did work in house they still have to pay their employees.

I figure 50k for the salvage car maybe? Then what, 15k-20k in parts? I could see total costs approaching 85k if you count their internal labor costs. Granted its a WAG on my part. 100k may be high but I dont feel like 80k is unreasonable unless they somehow bought the car at auction for some insanely lowball amount, or I'm just super high on my WAG.

I figured a "running & driving" auctioned LC, even with the damage it had, had to command decent coin since the forged carbon bits (doors & trunk) and drive train were intact and most of the damage was just front end/sub frame but not engine theoretically. But I have no idea what LC salvages go for at auction.

 

Some great LC guts in these 2 videos. Well-put together vehicle, for sure.

Yeah....I may be getting the itch to do a system in my new Bespoke.....

 

He's back in the Owner's Circle.

 

U gotta make a living...

 

Looks like Canada can get the DHP with the white & blue interior, interesting.

 

Yes, very interesting. I was under the impression that the rear wheel steering that’s part of the DHP was incompatible with the convertible due to lack of space in the rear. I will watch this video and see if that is explained in any manner.

P.S.
Oops! It obviously isn’t a convertible, my mistake.
