No, No, it is not a $70k car.
He may be a complete idiot and somehow let a shop screw him out of ~$50k but that doesn't make it a $70k car.
With a 408 stroker you can go 10.8 with a mild heads/cam/Auto with a T-brake/9"/slicks/full bolt ons/barely any suspension work.
Even with the cost of a cage and everything it would barely cost $20k+price of the car(~$10k at the most these days, probably closer to $5k)
My friend Josh's camaro ran 10.60's with a 4 year old 402 stroker with cheap forged internals, mildly ported 5.3L truck heads, a big cam, nice bolt ons, a RMVB bult Turbo 400 with a T-brake and a 3400 stall built for a nitrous car, a moser 9", and QA1s/Suspension.
Hell, the car went 10.90's with the same setup after we swapped it over to a T56 WITHOUT him powershifting.
