Some are just simply basket cases, but may still be used for parts. You know, that parts car can be a valuable car when looking for parts when restoring.

When purchasing a cheap car, check out these things before purchasing your next cheap project car.
1. Frame – Make sure its not rusted though the whole way and that it’s solid. While some cars you will be able to purchase an after market frame, it will still be a lot of work. If you are doing a frame off restoration of the muscle car, you will then be able to go over the frame inch by inch.
2. Trunks – these rust out but you can get patch panels to replace them. Depending on how much
3. The interior will probably be in bad shape, most of the time these will get replaced anyhow.
4. Any thing that you don’t feel confident to replace or repair. Some of these vehicles may already be in the process of being restored, so some of the work may already be done for you, but you will want to check for rust in places where its common for your vehicle model to rust.
You know that you are not looking at a perfect restored muscle car, so expect it to be rough, some cars are not worth bringing back to life, don’t get a job that is too big for you and you lose interest in it.
Bringing a car back to the way that it was or even better than showroom condition is a great way to spend your spare time. These cars will bring you back to days when you were younger and nothing makes you feel better than driving a beautiful car that you restored yourself or had restored.
