you are absolutely correct. I helped a guy thru a restoration of a 280SE
cabr. and it was $60k almost 20 years ago! Course that was when classic car
prices were going crazy and he thought he'd get his money back. Shortly
after he finished the prices started to slide -
Making money (or just breaking even) on the restoration of old cars is a
tricky situation --and is often a losing proposition.

It will be closer to four times that much. You did say restoration and not
"fix-up" didn't you?
