I inherited my Dad’s 1967 Dodge Charger nearly four years ago. My dad spent most of his free time attempting to restore the car, after water damage (rust) due to a fire several years prior. Being a master mechanic, my Dad pieced together the engine himself, but had not completed it, due to his failing health and lack of funds. The outside body has but one or two dents, tires all deflated/old, interior has since acquired been stripped all the way down to the rusted floorboard and undercarriage. I originally hoped to continue my Dad’s work and finish restoring it in hopes to eventually pass down to my son. My Dad’s brothers and other family members are insisted I sell them the car, but because of the history my Dad had with it and sentimental value to myself and my son, I refused. Like I said my Dad poured evey ounce of energy, time and money until his dying day and this is how my son and myself remember him, besides the story of how he acquired it in his early adulthood pink slip racing is a treat in itself. Anyway, I have asked around of repair pricing and restoration. Many people say the same, including engine, I’m not looking at more than $5000 just to restore it to drivable condition. It has pretty much just sat in my garage for the past four years, outside of my son pulling out all the mutilated seats and flooring, I have not invested any time or money into it. Considering that my son still has yet another two or three years before I can see him responsibile enough to have a gem and family earloom as this Charger, my husband suggested selling this one as is, and getting him something else later, with less work needed. Compared to restoration costs versus value, what do you suggest I do? How much would we get for selling a car in this condition?

Hi, basically im in high school and me and two of my friends are gonna buy a car to fix up/restore. Obviously we dont have a lot of money, so we are looking for something that is easy to do, easy to find parts for, and cheap. Original factory parts on the car make no difference to us. Any help is much appreciated.

I curently own a 1981 280zx Datsun and want to get people’s opinions about the car, as well as its predecesors and more modern Z cars. Im just wanting to get some feedback as to whether or not I should restore it, sell it, or just leave it as is (junkie). Is there any recommendations anyone may have? Any pointers and/or tips? This is my first project car and want to know if its a good one to start with I guess..

How much would it cost to restore this car and make it running good and everything? This is the car I want.. but I don’t know much about fixing cars or anything like that:

1967 MGB Convertible, original California black plate car. Runs and drives…it was originally British Racing Green and the trunk and under the bonnet is still the original BRG, making this car a perfect example to restore. The original aluminum hood is still in place and the body is in great condition. The real black leather seats are in good condition (no rips or tears in the leather). A new gas tank, fuel lines and new fuel pump has just been installed. The metal dash is in good condition. Overall it is a very solid car. These chrome bumper metal dash MGs are getting harder and harder to find and the 1967 is the most desirable model. The engine has plenty of power and sounds great but is a little smoky. This is a running driving restoration candidate…ASKING $4,250.

david.pasquale73 asked:


What do the car experts think? I have a car that has the original engine and drive-train still in it, I believe. I would like to restore the car to look as it did in 1973 straight out of the factory. The question is, should I restore it to exact specs (standard seats, standard doors, ginger interior with gold glow exterior, etc..) and what ever else came with my car? Or…. Should I restore it with all the bells and whistles that would have been offered that year (ie. mach 1 seats, deluxe doors, deluxe consoles, map light, etc..)?
