It's not too bad - About AU$55k + engine and transaxle. They reckon they
can 
do a trans for about $4k, so then you just need a chev V8. I'd think 
something from a late model commodore would be fine.
As far as price goes, it's a bit better than most AC Cobra replicas I've 
seen, and a lot more practical.

Yeah. That's what concerns me.......
