Is it worth it

i would keep it and build it if i was you. As for making money on them, i never intended to sell any of my mopars (most have been A bodies) but i have always sold them for alot more than i put into them. This only happened because i wait and make sure i get killer deals on everything. i have already been offered 3500 twice on my current duster and only have about 2000 in it counting the cost of the car. if you do a complete restore yes you wont get back what it would take but making a good daily driver i believe you can re-cope your cost if you are patient and buy parts wisely. like you i also dont plan on selling mine even though way too many people have asked it gets annoying but just shows you have a cool car lol.
