How much have you spent on your current car?

[Moparsmitty]

Only paid $8500 for my survivor Belvedere about 10 years ago and have probably put another 5K in it. I don't do 100 point restorations on cars anymore. It's more fun to drive a good running 25 footer around than worrying about getting a scratch in a perfect resto.

I don't exactly know, I don't wanna know, I tell my wife I don't know and I'm sticking to my story........

But if I had to guess, I'd say about 20K and it's still not over.

$350. But that is just today. A bargain too at 30% off Y.O. Told Linda there is a sale, did not go into detail.

I've put in about $26,000 and that was just for body and paint and still have a long way to go yet with no engine or trans so I'm thinking I will end up doubling that figure by the end

 

[HEMI-ITIS]

About a gizzion$$$$ Bet I have over $35,000,,,,,,,,,,,,into the engine:toothy2:

 

[Rocketman]

A little more than 35k I think, I spent in excess of 9k this year on the motor and various changes that were part of that process.

Can I plead the fifth?

 

[Meep-Meep]

For me that number somehow magically ends up being what the car is worth if I were to buy one done. And that's just parts and materials.

I noticed the same thing, labor must be free ehhh?

it's a domino effect!..rebuild tranny, resurface flywheel, new pressure plate, throwout, disk, Pivot Stud "ball" Z bar,..on & on... :eusa_shifty:

Domino for sure. You start one thing and it goes downhill from there.

My last 3 were about 50, 140, and 90. I currently have well over 30 in the latest project/ride[car was no-charge]. It's almost a roller with drivetrain. This stuff is a sickness.

 

[themechanic]

Does that include the garage upgrade and all the tools?.

 

[OhioMopar]

More than $15,000. But haven't hit $20,000 yet. Maybe soon.

 

[mr. b]

I have around 20,000 in mine and I did all the body work mechanical work, paint and assembly work it never ends its a sickness but I love it

 

[Uberbricky]

Less than a thousand so far, but this winter I'll be adding a zero to that

Well I bought my 63 for $1500. and did alot of work on my friends cars also as that was in the deal. I think I spent about $6500 on all the parts to do the mild restoration and build my eng , trans and rear as I did all the work myself. Then I spent about $8000. in just parts when I built my 493. So I would say I have about $16000. to $20000. in my 63 when I include the little things I may have forgot. I bought it in 2003 and got it on the road in 2006. I have never had this much money in any other car I have ever owned all my life including my daily drivers. Ron

 

[poopdeckpappy]

Wow! Don't think i'm close to spending as much as some guys here. I have plans though! 69 Satellite Whoop, Whoop!!

 

[mrsnicks]

I wish I would have saved up the total I've spent on it so far and bought a better "project" to begin with. I think I would have had less in it and be farther along.

After 35 years with a car you don't have a clue of how much money you have put in to it, and are afraid to find out! Back in the 80's I built it to drag race, in the 90's made it street able again, and in mid 2003 I put stock drive train back in so I could travel around the state.
