A53 1969 Barracuda Formula S Convertible!

A restoration of ANY car is a minimum of $30K and usually closer to $70K, even if it is a slant six car or worse, a Chivvy or Ferd! We did a slant six Dart GT convertible for an original owner 15 years ago and he had almost $75K in it when complete. No car is worth restoring for a profit, unless if course it is a Hemi car, then you will still not make much money. Those who think they can do it for less will have a car that will look like less, buy it an restore it if you like it, no if you are planning on making money.

This is very well out and I couldn't agree more. I have experienced it first hand. Usually the only person who wins is the one buying the high quality restored car as they seldom will sell for what has been put into them, with only a few exceptions perhaps.

As for the value of the car in question, again, I would treat it more of a 'what are the parts worth approach'
