How much can i expect to spend to fully restore a 1960's something mustang?

Answer 1

depending on how much restoration you are wanting to do, it could be up to a million dollars. Some people have the right decals and emblems and paint markings. If you just want something that just looks good and runs, it will be way cheaper about 20 grand.

Answer 2

depends on who did the restoration and how bad the car really was before it was restored ?did they use after market parts did the really do a good job, most restored cars are not in that good of mechanical Shape cause there not mechanics there body shop people , u need to see all receipts and when they bought em and where they bought em, people get taken in everyday on real shinny cars, that are crap but if it a real gem 25 to 50 thousand all depends , I restored a car for actor Kelsey Grammar and it was a everyday car 1960 is all I will say and it cost him 40,000 just for the restoration, and it was a complete paint body motor trans interior complete drive line not all chromed out just restored OK, to factory specs the way it looked when it came off the Assembly line. take care

Answer 4

I restored a 65 from the ground up, inside and out, all parts came from a company named Mustang of California. a friend stripped old paint and gave me paint job at 1/2 price. All togother I think it was around $3,000.00, but well worth it.

Answer 5

depnds on the shape of the car go to my 360 page i restored all these including a 68 mustang and it cost me around 11 grand from ground up

Answer 6

Depends on the shape of the car. I can't see it so I can't tell you. It's like asking me how much is my car worth on a trade in over the phone. If I can't see it I can't answer the question. So all the people who answered just threw a number out there. It all depends on the condition of the car that you want to restore.

Answer 7

As with any car it will start with condition. A car in good condition could run as little as a few thousand. I would expect the average would be around 8 grand.

Answer 8

Not knowing condition of the car at the start of the restoration process, I would guess that $20,000 to $28,000 would be a good range.

Answer 9

Ive got $22k in the rest of my 67 Chevelle SS, and expect to have another $10K in it before im done. This is my first car and has loads of sentamental value to me, plus im doing 80% of the work myself. If you dont have the skill to do it youself, expect to pay someone $45-$75 hr to do it for you- it is cheaper to find a professionally restored one and buy it

Answer 10

That depends on whether your doing a frame off resto or a body off resto. Some people have spent upwards of 50K restoring their cars.
