Restoring classic cars for a profit?

yep we have this thread every time some shit boomer junkyard fag finds a porsche shell

Really doubt the insurance company is going to cover your $30-50K rustbucket no matter how much you scream "iknowuttigot!!!!!!"

someone wants $6,500 for this on my CL

$15k is not even enough for blasting, bodywork, and paint.

link?

>buy classic for 1k
>fix it up for 5k
>is now worth 2.5k

You have to know what's hot and not with boomers, know what exactly every single location is to every part you need, the phone numbers of every person with a junkyard for classics, very intricate knowledge of engine building and frame/suspension geometry, on-hand painting materials, actual professional tier paint guns.... I mean the list goes on but I'll tell you how I did it for a while. I grew up with a machine shop in my back yard and knew about everyone within 200 miles with a shop or car. We'd buy cars for cheap still running then have my uncle upholster them for thousands of dollars discounted and completely redo the body inside and out and paint them. Usually we made at least 3-4k a car but if you worked half as much doing anything else you could easily make that money. It's very rare you find a super killer deal on muscle.

Those even look worse than OP's. And that first link doesn't have a title. Getting a title for a car is a fucking nightmare at the DMV.

yeah

spending $15 to get a title is crazy
