How much did it cost you?

I paid $17k for my Dart. The paint is decent driver quality. The interior is nice. It had been converted to a big block, subframe connected, Dana 60 with Detroit locker, full Calvert rear. It was a Procharged 440. He did a piss poor engine build, unfortunately, and it didn't last. I'll have another $15-16k in this new engine build by the time it's completed. All for a car I'd probably be lucky to get $18k for if I ever wanted/needed to sell it.

Do it because you love it, or because it's your passion. It's almost never worth the money/time you put into it.
