Also, it's ALWAYS cheaper to buy a converted car than to do a conversion. These type cars do come up for sale occasionally. You just have to be careful and ensure the conversion was done correctly. The Hall GT-5S kit is very expensive and very difficult to install. You have to cutoff the existing fender and then weld in the -5S fenders. One such Hall converted car sold in the $80s within the last couple of years in Florida. I'm sure the seller lost money in this sale. An absolutely gorgeous specimen.
Or just buy a factory car.. I think PI has one for sale on their website. The increase in price from a GT-5 conversion or stock looking car really isn't that much. Maybe $15-20K tops? Despite their rarity, factory widebodies simply don't demand premium dollar. Not sure why.

What is the "average" price for a conversion, including wheels&tires to clone a:
GT5 or a GT5-S. I heard using a Hall steel GT5-S kit is really hard to install$$
Just want to know what to expect if I did it myself or cheaper to buy one done.Thanks!
