Obviously I'm not doing it for the money. My dad bought an identical car, brand new the same week I was born. He kept if for about 5 years and then sold it because it was too small to haul around two kids and all the associated crap.
My last restoration was a frame off on a 65 Corvette back in the early 90's. I did that to make money. The car was a total basket case. Spent 24K on the car, parts and labor. Sold it on consignment for 35K. Cleared about 10K, which probably worked out to about 50 cents per hour. It was fun though. Used the money for down payment on a house which appreciated 150% in 8 years after remodeling kitchen and both bathrooms. That was way more profitable than the car.
