But despite popular misconceptions, <strong>restoring a classic car isn&rsquo;t just a hobby for <\/strong>those who are willing to spend $100,000+ on a restoration. Car restoration is relatively accessible <em>(as long as you choose your project wisely). <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those classic car enthusiasts on a budget, you&rsquo;ll want to choose a vehicle model with parts that are easy to source. <strong>Rare cars equal rare parts<\/strong>, meaning you&rsquo;ll have to pay hand-over-fist just to have the parts you need shipped to you. Plus, with the age-old adage &ldquo;<em>time is money&rdquo; <\/em>in mind, sifting for hard-to-find parts at <a href=\"https:\/\/oldconceptcars.com\/tips-on-where-to-find-rare-and-classic-car-parts\/\" target=\"_blank\">a salvage yard, car show, or swap meet<\/a> means more time (and money) lost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you plan to re-sell your classic car after it&rsquo;s been restored, spending extra on rare parts translates to a lower profit margin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luckily, there are classic cars that are easy (and affordable) to restore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-best-classic-cars-to-restore\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Best Classic Cars to Restore?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/complete-guide-on-classic-car-values\/\">Classic car<\/a> restoration is a glimpse into automotive history (Not to mention, it presents a compelling investment opportunity). Now, let&rsquo;s explore some of the <em>best old cars to restore <\/em>with ease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>**Note: Compared to other classic cars, these spotlighted models are the easiest to source parts for during a restoration.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"ford-mustang-1964-1968\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ford Mustang (1964-1968)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img  decoding=\"async\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/FAupMy9d57E3ENLmxFrnQdWvdCoaLGiHGv3McJY88eT6jF9zbynso3BHx5iSx-YBjPNMow0nUOw2Dew1S9gm-YZvsWmlpipyB7xZkc4KP_UMuByiHXmR7mPik8Cw3lv55K3BfrEv_3xVOo_J2qHyxls\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Project cars:<\/strong> from $15,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Average cost of restoration: <\/strong>from $100,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ford Mustang is one of the <strong>most iconic muscle cars<\/strong> to grace the automotive world. It was the pioneer in the league of pony cars that offered sporty styling. Even today, it remains a top choice for classic car restoration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its iconic design, available in coupe and convertible models, made it a significant player in the classic American muscle car movement. The Ford Mustang presents various engine options, from a 170 cu in (2.8 L) Thriftpower I6 to a rare 427 cu in (7.0 L) FE V8. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>exceptional availability of replacement parts<\/strong> is a major contributor to the Ford Mustang&rsquo;s ongoing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/classic-car-brands\/\">popularity for restoration<\/a>. Massive aftermarket performance parts have been reproduced, making it easier to find the components you need for your restoration project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mustangs have a consistent demand in the market due to their iconic status and enthusiast following.
