Today's cost to build a stocker ?

[Bob Shaw]

You can spend $30,000-$50,000 to build a stocker if you want to but you don't have to.
If you really want to race you can build a competitive car for a lot less. But you have to pick the right car, do most of the work yourself, and understand how to make it go fast.
You can build one to run the index for about $2000.
To run a second under might cost $4000-$5000.

Bob I think you would have to at least double what you think and I don't know of anyone that could build yours for about double what you are asking Rich

Fast cars at the top of the ladder will cost 75K to 125K; slower cars at the bottom of the ladder will run 25K to 35K. I know one D/SA car that cost 100K to build and I'm sure there are some lower classes that are under 20K.

You might consider a super stock car....fewer regulation (pin height, rod, piston weight, etc.)I know where you can buy one....LOL 68 Dart,,,SS.FA ready to do with Steve Wann engine and Pro Trans....etc.....$35,000....

Or you can buy one race ready that will run 2 seconds under for $15,000.

A second under for 4-5 K would have to be an oddball combo. A Pro Trans and convertor alone for a 426 Wedge car would set you back 8 plus K and there are only a handfull of them in the world that can run a second under at any cost.
