Whatever time you imagine spending on it, multiply it by 5. Or 10.

Same with cost.

I had the idea to restore a '66 Pontiac 2+2, but it was more than I could chew. I wish I had just bought one mildly restored that ran well. I ended up selling it again and lost no money. The guy that bought it sent it to a professional shop and they're still working on it, 14 months later.

I would recommend buying one that runs, so that you could at least enjoy it while restoring it.
