Muscle car restoration:?

car restoration
The Deacon asked:


Specifically, a 1969 or 1970 Dodge Charger.

Personally, I’d like to find myself one hidden away in some barn that I have to tow home and spend a summer on, but I was wondering if anyone had any general comparisons to offer between that approach and simply buying one in top condition.

Which would be more expensive, and by how much (on the average)?

No matter which way this goes, I’m more inclined to make one purchase at a time as I get this thing together by hand, but I’m still curious.

  3. restored chargers are about 50 to $60,000 depending on the engine in it and don’t even think about the hemi charger!, it will cost a pretty penny to restore any mopar as parts are harder to find and if you do find them they are double in price of a chevy or ford.
