$80K seems high if you now have a car worth $25K. I have a friend who paid under $40K for completely redone, frame off restorations on a 69 Z-28 Camaro and a 70 454 Chevelle, both cars are perfect and consistent show winners. On the other hand, I also have a 72 DeTomaso Pantera GTS that the former owner invetsed over $70K and sold for $35K. I guess you get what you pay for but won't get your money out of it.
