With that kind of money, one could have bought maybe 14-15 top end cars and have a little extra to build a garage to house them all....

But I don't think you could get George Barris and his brother Sam to build one for you

Sorry bud, I'm just not into customs....

That would take a seance. How much do those cost?

I'd rather have that completely original, low mileage '73 Blazer that went for like $85k.

Its not just a custom car but an icon for an entire branch of the automotive world and lifestyle.  No, I'm not exaggerating.  Its a touchstone and a car against with most all others of that ilk are measured.  Easy for me to say, I can't shake loose of the pieces to make a model of one but I don't begrudge whoever took it home.
