If only I had $70K lying around, and had a workshop, and knew how to rehab cars.

Or you could pay a restoration shop $200,000 to do a full body-off and totally stripped-down engine restoration. You’d be in for $270,000 or so.

Nice BUT it’ll take 200k to fix it properly.

Werent two of these found stored in an old garage like a year ago? I know I read it on FR and the photo showed them sitting side-by-side. They werent in the best of shape but had a leg up on this one. I think one was blue and the other white.

if people back then only knew what their muscles cars would be worth in later years- but then again, they probably would just bought them, stored them, and never driven them- I love watching the old movies and seeing all the old cars-

That goofy thing is downright ridiculous. It certainly lacks the quiet dignity of the Plymouth Belvedere.
To: ETL
Probably already has one.

200K would get authentic restoration down to numbered parts as available. But then who would pay 250K for it?
30K would make it street-legal and then you're only in for 100K, and you might get offers for a buck-twenty to a buck-thirty for someone who wants to take it to the 200K level. Turn-and-burn.

I worked with a guy back then who had one with a 440 but an automatic, because his wife couldn’t drive a stick. Man did we give him crap!

$30k wouldn’t get you much more than than piles of Bondo and plenty of spray paint cans from the local Ace Hardware store. Anything you do for that 30 would have to be undone by the next guy.
But it WOULD be fun to get it running.
Jay Leno would certainly pay for a primo restoration down to the numbered parts. That’s the sort of restoration he features all the time on “Jay Leno’s Garage.”
Our neighbor has restorations that are at the 99.7% original level. Remarkable workmanship on his collection.

I remember reading the story about how the original General Lee (featured in the stunt jump scene in the opening credits) was found in a junkyard in Georgia and restored. Apparently the labels “WB” with a number gave the car’s identity away.
