This is a fun assessment and breakdown of the average cost of overhauling your classic car project, ** but first,** this is just an idea and not the actual cost.
These figures and numbers are not the authors’. It is just a fun automotive meme to illustrate the basic overhaul cost to an off-the-frame car restoration. To some enthusiastic car guys, this might give them an Idea of the cost associated.
*** However, personally speaking; I find this assessment reasonably accurate. ***
The cost of an OverHaulen Project. “Enjoy.”
I’ve done my share of overhauling and rebuilding classic cars. however, most were not considered classics back in the day.
The moral of this overhauling story is simple: ‘never think of starting an overhauling project unless you’re committed to finishing.’ There is no estimate on the actual cost of your project because too many variables are involved.
A partial overhaulen project would be easier to estimate than a complete “off-the-frame restoration.” However, if you intend to flip-it, a word of advice: ‘do it properly.’ Buyers today are quite knowledgeable, and most have done their research on what and where to look for repairs or shoddy workmanship. That’s where the advice comes into play … ‘do it right.’

*And for a hobbyist that is taking on the task of overhaulen your dream car, it could take years of ‘on-off’ dedication to complete. For professionals, the average could still average hundreds of hours.
- Do not be one of those car enthusiasts who never finish their project and in the end, … taking their many hours of hard work to a place called “Unfinished National Swap Meet.” Many do end up there, however, “on the flip side,” that’s where you could find a half-finished overhaulen project.
Thanks Alan Roper, for the classic car overhaul evaluation. Although it was a fun read, it could be considered quite accurate.
