In case anyone has not paid attention to the current cost to order a new VMC, using Greg’s website, the following options for a turnkey speedster will set you back $61k.
- 2332cc engine (not an option, that is Greg’s standard offering)
- full tonneau
- GT bumpers and guards
- door pulls
- emblem hub caps
- German square weave carpet
- IRS
Add a retro radio, center exhaust, leather straps, stone guards, under dash e-brake, banjo wheel and beehives, and you approach $67k.
Inflation alone probably explains the price increase. Considering increased demand and the likelihood that costs will continue to rise during Greg’s ~24 month build cycle, I’m actually surprised the price Greg is asking hasn’t gone up more.
Maybe some BAT bidders who have decided they need a VMC parked in their garage have considered this?
