I inherited my Dad's 1967 Dodge Charger nearly four years ago. My dad spent most of his free time attempting to restore the car, after water damage (rust) due to a fire several years prior. Being a master mechanic, my Dad pieced together the engine himself, but had not completed it, due to his failing health and lack of funds. The outside body has but one or two dents, tires all deflated/old, interior has since acquired been stripped all the way down to the rusted floorboard and undercarriage. I originally hoped to continue my Dad's work and finish restoring it in hopes to eventually pass down to my son. My Dad's brothers and other family members are insisted I sell them the car, but because of the history my Dad had with it and sentimental value to myself and my son, I refused. Like I said my Dad poured evey ounce of energy, time and money until his dying day and this is how my son and myself remember him, besides the story of how he acquired it in his early adulthood pink slip racing is a treat in itself. Anyway, I have asked around of repair pricing and restoration. Many people say the same, including engine, I'm not looking at more than $5000 just to restore it to drivable condition. It has pretty much just sat in my garage for the past four years, outside of my son pulling out all the mutilated seats and flooring, I have not invested any time or money into it. Considering that my son still has yet another two or three years before I can see him responsibile enough to have a gem and family earloom as this Charger, my husband suggested selling this one as is, and getting him something else later, with less work needed. Compared to restoration costs versus value, what do you suggest I do? How much would we get for selling a car in this condition?
