My car was my dads, and it's a convertible, that's why I'm restoring it.
Would I do it again? Doubtful...
If I just wanted a 69 Roadrunner, I would buy one turn-key on a loan and make monthly payments for a few years.
I was naive to think I could restore my car for about $10k...or maybe I convinced myself I could so I would actually attempt to restore it.
I stopped counting how much money I'm in now but could estimate it to be around $20k...and it's not close to done.
The thought of going out to my garage whenever I want and starting her up, taking her for a spin has gotten me through all the hidden cost.
My mother drove my convertible with me and my four siblings around town with the top down in 1981 when I was 2.
One day, my little boy will be driving his kids around in it, and that to me is priceless.
