65 Barracuda Formula S 273 4 speed

if you figure a really nice one will actually bring around $10,000, and..... if you buy a complete project have the engine trans rebuilt, and YOU do all the body,paint, interior, brakes , front end, springs, shocks, exh, exh etc. etc etc, would you NOT have at least $10,000 in it???????
lot of us enjoy the work we do on them, but lets face it, we usually buy projects, either because we don't have the $10K, don't want to go to our friendly baker and tell him we want a loan to buy this $10K car, OR we actually convince ourselves we can built it for less!!??? LOL it all adds up??/ some times buying a project car IS A DREAM, and DREAMS many times never come true!!??? food for thought??
