The Muscle Car era has really erupted. Buyers are now going thru the internet in search of their dream car. A lot of times the price and funds don't seem to work out so finding one that fits the pocket book can be a job. I'll try to help you on a important issue when buying cars of the internet. And many of you are new to this.
Muscle cars projectsunder $5,000 seem to sell well. So you find one and in such a rush to get one at a good price you bid away and never ask questions.
I restoreMopars for a living and I see many owners dream fade away as they find out they are going to spend a whole lot more than they thought. Muscle cars are not cheap to restore, whether you do it yourself or have a shop do it, there is going to be hundreds of hours invested.
Biggest thing on these Uni-Body cars is frame rot. As a example on Mopar's if you have frame rail rot, you have a expensive problem. Not only are you doing the rail's but now you are looking at a lot of sheet metal work. So sometimes a $4,000 bargin begees a $10k to $20k project just to get the body right and painted.
My advice..ask questions before you bid. Ask about the frame
