   It depends on how nicely you want to restore it. A full body off resto, if you do the labor yourself….with all new restoration and mechanical parts…should run $15-$20k. (body work, paint, rebuilt drivetrain, suspension, interior replacement, electrical).
   If you have someone else do it the labor can add another $10-15k.

   If it’s a body off restoration you’re looking at, it’s a minimum of $10,000. Yes, ten grand.
   And what kind of engine, transmission…lots of different variables here.

   That varies from how it looks now to how you want it to look when you’re done. That can vary from $6,000-$40,000. Here’s a good link though. This place has everything from the stock radio to the factory car scent for that car. LOL!!!!!!http://www.yearone.com/

   Phil is closest in price, but if there is serious rust, it could go much higher, $75k from a reputable shop is not out of the question when major metalwork (trunk, floorpans, wheelhouses, quarters, etc.) and interior is needed.

   Whatever answer you get here will pale in accuracy to the answer you get when you actually accomplish the fact.

   It’s not about the money.. It’s about the joy of working on the past and the history thats with the car.. It’s about building it your self, bringint it back to life and then enjoying your hard work, and time..

   Money wise.. It’s endless.. A cheap half ass’ed job done by your self $5K

   A good, right job by you, $8,000 to $300,000 or more. Depends on what you want the end result to be..

   Have a resto shop to do it. $25,000 to 100,000..

   There’s so many options when restoring a car, putting a est price on total is void unless you tell us your idea, goals, wants, needs..

   Heck for all we know, you may want a nascar cup engine inside the car which will run you $40,000 or so

   You may want this wild custom paint job with house of kolor paint that runs $30,000.

   Or a pure, true numbers matching resto, where your tracking down the right # fan belt for that year and moldel, paying $300 for that one belt lol

   Now on avg. Most people will spend $9,000 to 18,000 on their restore project
