Wanted Looking for a '68 HCS or GT/CS Project

The same thing going on with everything else we buy and yet they say inflation is low. I do not know what world THEY live in.

That’s for sure. Try buying lumber.

It costs me about $20K+ to restore a GT/CS, and I do most of the work myself, so I don't have the financial burden of shop costs. A quality paint job, which I have a professional do (strip, repair, paint) costs about $12K. I do all the mechanical & electrical myself which includes all new suspension, engine O/H, electrical, upgrades, and interior. My Black CS restoration ran higher due to replacing many components precautionary. To start with a donor candidate @ $20/$22K is just not economically feasible. Ask me how I know.:smile:

About a year and a half ago a sheet of 1/2 OSB sheeting cost me $7.59 now it is $35.50.
A new home built to day cost $30,000 more than the the same home cost last spring. What is more crazy is that it is not slowing building down.

There don’t seem to be any projects for sale under $20K or so!!

Very true...
