1961 Dodge Lancer, is it worth it?

If it was My Grandfathers car you couldn't pay me enough, if I was out to purchase one about $500. Even if I was not going to use it as a driver I would slowly fix it up back to stock and bag it for some time in the future and drive it with pride. My Grandfather died in 1951, what I would pay to have his 1938 Ford.

Xs2. There is nothing like keeping your Grandfathers's car alive and running. He must have loved the old girl or he wouldn't have had it painted.
