* Condition of the base car: Starting with a rust-free, solid original car significantly reduces build costs compared to starting with a heavily damaged or rusted shell requiring extensive metalwork.
* Level of modifications: A basic Pro Touring build will cost considerably less than one with extensive custom fabrication, high-end suspension components, a supercharged engine, or a fully customized interior.
* Parts quality: Using aftermarket parts from different manufacturers can vary dramatically in price. Choosing high-end, performance-oriented parts will significantly increase the cost.
* Labor costs: The cost of labor varies greatly depending on the mechanic's experience and location. A professional shop will charge much more than a skilled amateur doing the work themselves.
A rough estimate for a *well-done* Pro Touring '66 Camaro SS could range from $100,000 to well over $300,000 or more. A more basic build might be achievable at the lower end, while a highly customized, high-performance build could easily exceed the higher figure. It's really a matter of specifying the exact build and then getting quotes from reputable shops or builders specializing in this type of restoration/modification.
