Very nice restoration, with only minor errors most would not notice even in judging. However, since there is nothing particularly rare about the car I question the price. Can you do one at that level for that money? Perhaps, and maybe not... but you've got to want it really badly to do it. Big-block convertible A-bodies have a hard time playing in that price range and small-block hardtops generally bring $10K-$15K less, especially ones as common as 340 Dusters.

As soon as you put the Hendrick Performance name on it does the price automatically triple?

He's probably trying to recoup the hit he took on the rebodied Chevelle SS396/4-speed convertible he bought at Barrett-Jackson a few years back. A guy from this era did the rebody, cutting the roof off a 307 hardtop and used a set of numbers someone had and mostly shelf restoration parts to build it. Hendrick didn't figure it out until he got it home and had been separated from well around 150,000 of his little green Washington photos.

I watched the video of the car going across the auction block in the living room of the proud rip-off artist.
