Retry the link - doesn't seem to work. Hard to go wrong for $80. You could probably sell just a few parts and break even.

i saw a coronet on Barret Jackson with a HEMI. It had a odd yellowish paint colour. They commentators said it was the ultimate sleeper being that it looked like the car a mom would drive.

The 80 bucks is pocket change. The real cost is doing the work. You will never get all the money and time back on what you put into it, but if you like the car and will enjoy working and driving it, then its likely worthwhile.
However, if you have any doubts about your enjoyment of it, save your money and look for a car thats interests you more.
There are millions of cheap cars out there, so save your money and time for one that can still hold your interest once you are 6 months and $3000 into the project.

well said magic rat. if the car cost 80 bucks its prolly almost way beyond repair. the best way to do that is to purchase a car that already runs and drives like from an old lady and start there witha good foundation. rather than a rust buckett that just needs an endless amount of work that 6 months into it you get frustrated because you've spent every night working on it and you still cannot drive the car.
