The 'whole ball of wax'..........Value of the car before conversion, ( it was a factory demonstrator)....development/design cost,.....labor,.....paint and materials,....transportation (flatbed)

The conversion was capped at $60K, so I will say 3) $86,000.

Good guess, however no, that's not the figure!

Then the "extras" must have brought it up to 4) $100,000.

The cap was $60K but the estimate was $50K. On the chance they came in under that, I'll guess $56K.

Sorry no, apparently $56K won't cut it!
