You could do a complete rebuild of a SBC for less than $500. Including a new cam and lifters, all the rings bearings and gaskets, and still have enough left for beer.

I know several body/paint guys that buy wrecks with a salvage title, rebuild them and sell. They seem to make a profit. Might make it difficult to finance, depending on what it is.

I think you really meant to say " Someday, I'll get into this stupid range of MONEY and I'll have to figure out what I want to do"
