$138K '74 IROC replica custom build from scratch

Interesting opportunity here:

Pretty cool build sheet, but nothing really exotic. Seems like a nice motor, but I would think more should be included. Also, I'm surprised that a full cage is not included at this price.

$138k seems steep to me, as I built a roughly similar car for $40k - ish, but did a LOT of work myself. My '71 tub has 930 brakes, limited slip, upgraded '95 3.6, fuel cell, welded reinforced chassis. I do not have the 930 trailing arms.

At $100 / hour, maybe it would have cost me another $100k? I didn't log my hours. Maybe he's negotiable

Thoughts? There is a good chance I'm way off as I don't know what full fabrication and one-off shops charge. The only relevant pricing information of which I am aware are Matteo's in his Excellence article and even those are somewhat vague. Seems to me like he got a heck of deal compared to this when you consider all the modifications, 6 spd, 964 pan, cooling / ducting, killer ITB 3.9L engine, etc, etc.
