This is another one of those "completely custom" vehicles.
There was another posted not too long ago that, like this one, had nothing left of the original vehicle except the VIN tag.
At this point, #1, how do you define what the vehicle is? Is it REALLY a 1971 GMC Jimmy? I'd say no. There are certainly no parts for a '71 Jimmy that would fit on this truck.
#2, how do you EVER value something like this? Anyone who's ever had any work done knows that you can't simply add the cost of the work done to the price of the vehicle. My guess is that the people who are really willing to pay the big bucks for a "completely custom" vehicle would rather build their OWN in their image, so to speak.
I think ultimately these are like the "follies" of the Victorian era -- a labor of love and a monument to the builder that never recoup their cost. Their true value must ultimately be in the pleasure derived from BUILDING one, as opposed to OWNING one.
IMHO, of course,
Brian
