The Lancia is probably worth $70,000 restored.
yea but it could take 50 grand to restore these cars.

Agreed. You have to restore automobiles for the love of the cars. If you try to restore cars and sell them for profit, they will find you living in a refrigerator box under the freeway, eating cat food.
