Hey Crazy, I'll call BULLSH!T. Hehehe, j/k man.

I agree with you. The cost of rebuilding two different cars (the same exact way) will cost about the same.

great advice c4c (and everyone)...exactly the information i was looking for. i assume this advice crosses lines between auto makers as well....so one can't make a statement such as "the cost of mopar restoration is higher than the cost of gm, ford, chev"... granted, i'm not taking into account purchase price or completed value price...just restoration cost of a vehicle who's parts are not hard to find.

Basically, i hear people tell me not to do a mopar project because the cost of restoration is much higher compared with the other makers...but it would be nice to be able to blow those people off.

I like the Dart/Hemi advice by Aaron, cuz lord knows in a year or so it will be a helluva day if i can find even a late 60's barracuda fastback, drivable, and in my budget range.

till that day i'll keep preparing the garage nest...which is also a lot of fun.

reread what crazy4carz said and put your wallet back in your pocket if you feel like you must have an old car get a 70 dart so that way i can get it off of you when you are tired of it i've seen to many people get something and tell everyone there going to fix it up tear it all apart then either scrap it or sell it for a junk price
goodluck either way
