What's the best car/vehicle on the market today, dollar to value?

30. The fiberglass top on the 69-72's reached all the way to the windshield frame but you knew that...

73's and later had a hard-top that reached to a point behind the front seats. So when the top's off, it's exactly like a convertible. I found a K5 website where a guy has plans for a block n tackle setup that lifts the top all the way to the top of the garage.

It runs like a top, with a recently rebuilt 350 and a new transfer case.

The only issue is rust. I'm going to have to buy new door shells, ($500+), and body panels ($750-1000+). The labor cost for the body panels will probably cost somewhere near a grand or more, but I have a paint guy who'll do the primer/paint for cost + 2oz of good weed.

When I'm done with the rust, paint, carpeting, and sound... it'll sell on Ebay for upward of $18,000 but I plan on this being the last vehicle I'm ever going to buy. It even has the uncut holes for the stereo, and I've found a place that makes "vintage" radios that'll accept my XM radio and iPod Nano.

It's almost exactly like the one my Grandpa had when I was a kid. When I'm done with it it'll be a vehicle he would have been proud to drive, and totally appropriate for the place where I live which is 7,000 above Los Angeles.

All in all, it's a nod to to the UAW men and women who dreamed it, designed it, tooled the plants in Michigan, and built it.
