Can i make a living off of restoring antique cars?

i know how to well and did it as a hobby when i was a kid.

Can i make a good lving off of restoring old muscle cars and selling them to wealthy people?

what cars would command high money?

Yes, you can/could.

They will ALL command high money but the years people want most will command the most, but I don’t think that is the concern, necessarily

Anything that is nostalgic, which is a BIG field. Anything 50s 60s, before and after that, including muscle cars to customs–mild to wild, ratrods, nice big V-8s in T roadsters.

Man the list goes on and on!!

Look on the internet google.com for one. Lots of junkers that are just sitting around all over the nation, though I would think locally would be the way to go for buying what you need.

The internet is/has been categorized as well. ‘Junker muscle cars’ and whatever other category you can think to look for.

I saw one site a long time ago, ‘junkers in barns’. That included muscle cars and old Cadillac ‘verts as well as many others.

We have a shop here in town that does just what you’re referring to and in the back of the shop is another guy, they split the rent, that does upholstery and ‘vert tops and weather seal.

Your business will just naturally attract those with money, but you’ll also be attracting the GEARHEADS and TRANNYBUSTERS as well, so you BETTER know you’re stuff, if you come off like a dummy, you probably won’t make the sale!!

Walk the walk AND talk the talk!!

Knudsen’s Pontiac Division probably deserves to be credited with introducing the first bona fide Muscle Car, the mighty and magnificent GTO. Based on the Tempest, the Pontiac GTO was as fast, if nor faster, in a straight line than the Italian stallion whose initials it had cheekily usurped. The motorists of America simply revelled in it combination of style and potency. Soon everyone was in on the act, furiously pumping iron – and a lot of gas. The Oldsmobile 4-4-2 and the Chevrolet Impala Super Sport were followed in ‘67 by the Camaro. Ford soon added the splendid Shelby Mustangs to its celebrated ‘Pony Car’ line and Chrysler rounded out the decade with their incredible Dodge Daytona Charger and Plymouth Superbird. For a brief, glorious, uninhibited, period before the arrival of the oil crisis and restrictive legislation of the nineteen-seventies, American enjoyed the thrill of unfettered automotive power and every stop light became the start line of a drag strip.Essential Muscle Cars pays tribute to the legend and is lavishly illustrated with large format, full-colour, cut-out photographs of all the major models, along with a comprehensive technical specification of each.

This engine became so dominant on America’s racetracks and boulevards that its nickname–Hemi–came to symbolize the ultimate in American performance. Hemi Muscle Cars" tells the story of the magnificent Hemi-powered performance cars and explains why the Hemi has blown away the competition for six decades–and still does so today.
