The car I had in mind is a 66 roadster, 427/390, fully loaded including factory air - black with saddle leather. Car has been sitting inside for more than 30 years with wrong color paint, flared wheel wells, and some damage from something falling on it. Potential to be an extremely valuable car with original engine and trim tag.

It's very easy to pay too much for a restorable car. It's very difficult to get back the cost of the restoration if you should sell it in the future. Watch some of the TV auctions and you will see that cars usually do not sell for even what the restoration cost.
Buy the best already restored car you can afford.
