I've put together a budget and a vendor list to finish my Cobra CanAm car(below). The sister the car is at Vintage Racing Motors in Seattle and they have used all the listed suppliers on their car. This is a "best of everything" budget, and could be reduced significantly if you wanted to.

The CanAm is an important car, and will be worth the cost of the restoration when it is finished.

     Bare chassis
          $20,000


As you can see the budget for a running car is some where between $120 and $130,000 dollars
depending on what you want. That is about what the car should sell for in today's market,
which is how I came up with the price for the chassis. The market could change of course.


Thank you,
