Adam,

Don't think Calspeed is referring just to your 67.5 1600, it's a
generalization that applies to just about all old cars. Generally, we put
far more dollars and hours into these cars than we get back in terms of
money. And that's true for most makes of cars, not just Datsuns.

As far as an actual dollar figure, well that can be anywhere from $7000 to
$20,000 depending on the quality of the restoration; and that depends on
finding a buyer willing to pay top dollar. Just figure that you won't be
making a substantial profit from restoring these cars.
