That is a LOT for a '72 car. The car looks nice, but I'm not seeing the $100K difference than I was expecting to see. What do you think?

I saw another restomod Camaro hit $181K in the same auction.

Resto-mods seem to be bringing good money. I wonder if it's because the average age of the buyers is getting younger and they don't have the emotional attachment to the old school factory original cars.

  saw this happen in the tri five world.

There's at least $70K, maybe even $100k spent pn that build, but the price it fetched is a bit shocking.

That 72 Cuda is plain wicked. I can see a couple of NFL players in the room with disposable income bidding against each other, easily paying that type of cash for a one of a kind killer Cuda.

I couldnt agree more.  Seems fishy

The same  120 k build but 165 k sold price is to much

Hard to say, maybe 2 guys really wanted it. Or a dealer may have bought it back.
Here is how modified cars look in the future, that's the problem I see with them, you can spend a lot of money on them and when they go out of style, oh well.

Too murdered out for me...it needs a contrasting color other than the gray. I 'm glad I didn't go that extreme on my last build but I would have been happy getting half the amount that brought.

What's the idea behind extending the rocker panels lower?

Usually to give a lower than actual look without giving up ground clearance plus it hides the factory pinch welds.

A lot of pro builders do this on their custom builds.

Great eye.  I totally see it now. 

Dont worry.  Resto mods will never go out of style.

Yes fads change, resto mods are very popular now.  Murals not so much.  Still fairly popular in SoCal

Yes and no, a "3rd gen Hemi" restomod can certainly go out of style when the next platform comes through.

Direct injection, force fed, more powerful, aluminum block, whatever that may look like.
