There is both merit AND precedent for this: Elliot "Pete" Estes' custom-created '68, built as a "thank you" gift from late-'68/early-'69 parts and prototyped pieces. And building a "one-of-one" Gen-5 Z/28 ragtop would surely be a fitting finale, GUARANTEED to make it THE most expensive Brand New Pony Car ever sold...

God knows, there are enough folks out there salivating over the RPO version to assure a $pectacular re$ult...one that even Ron Pratte might raise his hand for, and he's as diehard a FORD guy as there is for "Specials", one-offs, and charity cars.

Frankly, I like the idea...but only for ONE, and for public sale only...

Po$$ible Price? What's a 1-of-8 '69 Trans Am Convertible selling for, in perfect condition? THAT would be the starting price for this one...
