What does it cost?

Loved this article Tony. Thanks for taking to time to put it down for those of us that are just getting into the hobby. It is a real eye opener to see the numbers on "paper". I know that our car was just bought for cheap. $1500 for a '65 Barracuda with a running 273, and very clean and nice interior. I still don't know about the tranny and rear end yet as the brake pedal just went to the floor and if they do work, I wouldn't be able to stop. But I have a solid platform to start with for sure. I know my wife is anxious about the $$$ that we will need to put into this to get it going again, but I keep trying to convince her that we have all the time in the world and we dont NEED to hurry to try to finish in a time frame. The money will come as we save it. I won't lose track of the finish line and I won't let her give up on this car either. I can't wait to get back home from work and get started on it
