All depends on if your going to strip the car yourself and the condition... you'd save alot of money if you strip the car down to a rolling shell yourself. Then its a case of seeing what condition the shells in and taking it from there. Your best speaking to a restorer or drop a post in the restoration forum on here, must be plenty of ppl on here with ideas of price for worst/best case shell restoration.

could cost anything from 1k flashover to 5k+ resto job
depends how much rust etc and whether it will need new panels/repairs etc
if welding needing done as this takes a huge chunk of the money
and to what standard you want it
