Paint and panel goes for insane prices, however interior you can keep quite reasonable.
It's definitely a classic to me  |
Restoring a damaged interior could easily top $10k for that car. Plenty of wood and chrome plating in there which is insanely expensive to replace. Replacing the dash alone could cost $3000, labor being the big expense. You also won't find original seats and such so those will have be custom sewn by hand and all foam and springs replaced, crazy expensive.
Rebuild an original 65 Ford motor would be ~$3000, and a nice paint job maybe $1500. Having to restore the interior would and does easily double the cost of the restoration.
