That depends on you.You could easily get the motor paint brakes done for about $5000 but if you go top of the line every thing frame of resto it could cost $50000 $60000

GREAT CAR. SEEN IN THE OPENING OF THE TV SITCOM "GET SMART".
IF THE BODY AND FRAME ARE POOR YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO PAY THE $ IT WOULD COST. IF YOU DO THE MAJORITY OF THE WORK IT WOULD PROBABLY BE WORTH IT. THE ENGINE WORK IS PRETTY MUCH A ROUTINE THING WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF THE CARBURETOR REBUILD WHICH IS PROBABLY THE PRIMARY REASON IT WILL NOT RUN. THEY DETERIORATE OVER TIME AND IT'S HARD TO FIND A GOOD REBUILDER IN THESE DAYS OF FUEL INJECTION. YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO BUY ONE WITH THE EXCHANGE OF THE OLD ONE(CORE).
GOOD LUCK!!!
