I am sure that is easily six figures. Again, it's a way cool car but just so far removed from any real H body.It's like they just threw away 75% of the car and started from scratch.

I don't think that the Jegs Vega cost a six figure....

Well take into consideration that they built this in-house and all the labor and salary costs for the buiders. I would be curious what it would cost a average person to build that car. It's not a low budget car by any means.

The Jegs Vega was built by Woody’s Hot Rod shop…Jegs provided many of the parts. To tell you the truth Looking back I should of purchased the whole complete set up from Art Morrison it would have been cheaper for me on my project. I believe by purchasing the whle package at one time would of remove second guessing my set up.

Digging up an old thread...

I considered going with the Pro Touring route with my Monza, but decided one ProStreet instead.

Modifying a car is certainly a personal preference and there is no really right or wrong choice. However, I have friends who built Pro-street cars and most of them hardly would drive them more than 25 miles at a time. Most end up not being that comfortable to drive or seem to have other driveability issues. Pro touring lends itself more to a car you would want to drive greater distances and seems to make a better all around car. Of course there are different levels of either choice so it really depends upon your individual build......
