Posted by Samurai A car like this, 6 hours away, always beggars the question, "Am I bringing a flatbed, or will this make it back here?"

You have to drive it back. That's part of the adventure. I had to drive my '83 Beetle which I purchased sight unseen home 3.5 hours, and it had been sitting for 3 years. It made it. (Although my ankle hurts just thinking about that trip- the low speed circuit in the carb did nothing so I had to keep stomping the gas so the accelerator pump would feed the thing fuel. Ran nicely about 3000 rpm.

if you do it half-assed, it wouldn't. If you do it right, well over $20k.

Well I did my 69 Charger 'right' and it was nowhere near $20,000 to restore it, but I got well over $20,000 when I sold it. But hey, what do I know right.

Holy copter. And Sam , if you do your own work restoring cars isn't that super expensive.

My dad does all his own restoration work, I think he averages about $6,000-$8,000 a car not counting the initial purchase price. Also...Vancopter? The hell? I love how there's no explanation.

http://ontario.kij...W0QQAdIdZ452729583 Fucking greasy. Yuck. http://ontario.kij...W0QQAdIdZ524713264 "Needs alternator- $100 tops"- RIGHT. This is a Porsche you dumb fuck. If the alternator was $100, why wouldn't you buy one with your welfare cheque, install it and sell the car as a roadworthy 924 for a grand more? And I hate you more for installing those awful seats. And for owning a Porsche with an automatic tranny. Go find a rope.

in my experience, AMC's and Mopars are the most expensive cars to restore, more so than Fords and definitely more than GM. Also, unless you are a master level fucking autobody guy with a full shop, there is just some shit you can't do in your garage. Sorry. I've been around autobody since I was a little lad and watched my father restore and build many a car having a hand in many of those projects so don't talk down to me. I'm not some bitch that doesn't know a quarter panel from a fender. i know the sweet sweet smell of bondo and the tingly cool feeling of reducer on my fingers probably as well as you do. It's like right now, my friend Wayne is doing a 70 Cuda... kid bought it sight unseen from Texas for $8k, had it shipped, got it up here in NY and handed it over to a guy who is not a body shop but a craftsman at autobody. Works out of a modest garage on a sideroad here. Told him to make it pretty. Wayne got deeper into the car replacing damaged panels and realized that the car had been fucking decimated at one point during it's life. The drivers side behind the door had taken a massive hit. The repair had gone quickly as in welding a new quarter panel on by stretching the panel and adding a filler panel between the quarter and channel. Looks great from curb... and internet pics. Even the roof was dimpled from the hit. The people that sold him the car had taken pics so you never noticed it. So now, the kid has a car that is 8k and now he has ordered $9k in parts (the interior was NOT what he bought). So now what was supposed to be a simple job has turned into a nightmare. Point? You never ever know what you're getting into until you get it home... that $10k restore can mutate into a $20k resto before you can say holy fuck lee iacocca!
