What type of restoration are you talking about, and what type of car are you trying to restore?
If you are trying to restore an old classic into show condition, you can spend tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. It all depends on what you want to do, and how much work the vehicle needs.
Are you looking at rebuilding the drive train? Is there body rust? Is the interior in need of cleaning, or will it have to be reupholstered? There are so many variables that you can not just give an "average".

that is a nearly impossible question to answer as it depend on many factors like;
1: the car being restored-a 1966 mustang or 1969 camaro is going to cost less to restore than a 1934 rolls royce
2: availability of parts-mustang and camaro parts are widely available compared tot eh rolls royce
3: cost of parts needed-mustang and camaro parts are far less expensive the rolls royce parts
4: labor rates-self explanatory
5: amount of work done by owner-the more work you can do yourself, the less money you will spend having someone else do the work
6: level of restoration- a daily driver restoration is going to cost far less than a concourse level restoration

Depends on the car you are restoring:
There is a big difference between a Ford Highboy restore, and a Ferrari
Most cars that are in good shape and parts are easily found like a 69 Camaro can be done for around 5000.00, more for the interior and paint if you wanna go for show.

You can buy new rug material on EBAY as well as some lesser mileage interior stuff like the steering wheel. The thing that will cost the most is the paint unfortunately. That guy who suggested $20,000 is crazy! It would be that much if it were some antique, but you have a car that parts are readily available.

Whoa!!! Depends on the car and the extent of restoration needed. I would start at a $10,000.00 to $15,000.00 figure as a guide.
