Thanks guys! I can do all of the sheet metal work, cleaning and restoring of most of the parts, and assembly. The things I would have done would be blasting, paint, trans, and engine work, which would all definately need to be done on this car. Those things alone would be $15,000 - $17,000 depending on how in depth I want to go with the engine. It's really hard to get any quality paint work done for less than $8,000 and the last 289 I had rebuilt was in the $5,000 dollar range. Add the price of the car, trans, and body panels to that and I will be in it at around $30,000-$35,000. I suppose I could do it without adding my labor and I wouldn't be upside down on value. I have sold this to my wife as a college fund for my daughter, so I would be able to drive the car for 5 years and enjoy it. The value of it in 5-7 years may be a little better than $45,000. The enjoyment I get out of restoring these cars is priceless though.
