Take this truck up north into rust land, and I could make a killing. Camaros are not rare, and they make plenty too. Their value can only continue to rise in today's era. Classics always do.
But for a V6 Mustang, hopeless.

yeah i do want to bet actually. Yeah Right now, with you not having much moeny into it, sure you can make a profit on it, thats not hard. But where not talking about buying a broken down truck and fixing it and selling it. Where talking about investing money into a car to make it nice, im talking about after you actually dump money into your truck. If you spent the 20 grand to truely restore it and make it look pretty again. your NEVER going to get that 20 grand back. you'll be lucky to get 10 grand. Ive seen your exact truck with over 50 grand stuffed into it sit for sale on a truck forum at 15k for months and months and finally sold like 6 months later for 12.5k.
Theres one for sale right now about an hour away from me. i can go buy it for 4 grand. Its looks brand new like it just came off the factory floor. Most paintjobs alone cost 4 grand...
cars are not an investment.
and i agree camaros are not rare. And camaros are not worth a lot of money unless you have a very certain special one restored just right. When i finish restoring my 67 camaro ill never get out of it of what i invested into it. Because its just a rinky dink camaro. its nothing special, it wasnt a z28 or a SS. it was a plain jain v6 camaro with a v8 stuffed into it. Last time i looked on craigslist there was about 7 or 8 67-69 camaros for sale all restored. 7-15 grand. thats not much money at all. and i promise they had more invested than that into them.
