Resale value once fixed up, on some are 50,000 to 60,000+. It takes a lot of elbow grease, parts hunting, parts machining, dent fixin, chroming, hunting glass, basically you just keep throwing money at it. I'm always so grateful that there are people that rebuild and restore these old classic cars.
There used to be a star sign thing by my house. I loved it. You do such a good job with your road trips and stories. I can go to one to lift my spirits when I’m down.
Getting a "junk yard" car in running condition really depends on the condition it's in. If the engine turns over, and fires, usually you need to check the fuel lines and tank for old gas & rust. Check the engine's oil, water pump, and any tubing for rot. That's at an absolute minimum. You might actually have to do a partial rebuild of the engine and change out most of the seals in it. Then there's the transmission, which is a whole other story if it's got problems. Body & chassis rust isn't a problem if it's mainly patina. If pieces start coming off, then you either have to buy a replacement panel/chassis, or have it fabricated. Seats, well you can't legally drive sitting on a milk crate, and exposed springs probably would require you to update your tetanus vaccination. Upholstering a car can be very expensive too. Also if it's your first time restoring/fixing a car, then I'd suggest looking for a model that is popular. Large production volume and good after market part availability. A rust bucket might look like a bargain, but the amount of work and parts you put into it (yours or someone you pay to fix it for you) will make your costs increase very quickly. So putting a price range on a project can be very hard. But if you're willing to try something like this, then by all means have a go at it! Personally, given the huge production numbers, the general simplicity of the engine (air cooled), the availability of parts, and the gigantic range of personalization options, I'd go for a VW Beetle as a fist project in fixing up a car. Not too expensive, tons of manuals and groups that can help, and given that you live in Southern California, you could find one pretty handily (possibly either as a normal beetle or an ex Baja-Bug). I'd suggest taking a look at some videos from "Wheeler Dealers" on their VW Bug restoration (the 1969 Predator Beach Buggy & the 1960 Volkswagen Beetle episodes). Alternatively the Namibia episodes of The Grand Tour (on Amazon Prime Video) to see some of the beach buggies made out of VW Beetles. Or Raphael Orlove's dealings with his classic Beetles on Jalopnik.com. Of course, before going out and buying a car I'd suggest actually doing some research into differences between model years, common problems, actual value of a fully or partially restored car (so you don't over pay), and cost of replacement parts so that you can budget accordingly. In the end you can have a running Classic VW Beetle that you can drive on weekends, a beach buggy/Baja-bug you can take to the desert and hit the dunes, or given your Disney propensity, a Herbie replica to drive down to Disneyland with Allie & your son.
Justin, this journey has become a daily-ish thing for us... really enjoy every minute of your quirky yet entertaining ( and very informative) story. I wish you could start all over again. It has been an amazing journey.- TV worthy!. YOU ROCK! Steve and family. Very sad when it does end.
I went here a week after this was published. Lewis and his wife were so impressed with Justin. He had fellow subscribers who got their picture with him. I hated to leave just talking to Lewis. I went through the whole place three times. My Go Pro started to melt from the battery on too long. It is a must for car and truck lovers. It's 40 miles east of Albuquerque on I 40. There are quite a few Crosleys and International Harvesters. I will get back.
NOT car savvy either, I am just amazed most of these cars still have the glass intact , love all of these videos Justin , watching them over & over especially the Missouri side....
I want to find an old 1972 Vista Cruiser in OD green and wooden style panels, and luggage rack on top. This was my Dad's family battle wagon. I used to call it "Dad's Battlestar Galactica" because it was big and it was romper room in the back until Dad pulled over to give us boys and old fashioned ass kicking.
I'll be sad when this series is over....but then look forward to your next big adventure (or small one too) :) "R" stands for Adventure! Keep up the great videos. Yours really stand out for many reasons, but really like how you provide historical value and interest to yours.
Hey Justin, I'm a young car enthusiast and my estimation for restoring a car like that would be 15,000 dollars. The bulk of the money would go towards rust removal and repainting, also a lot of the money would go towards the engine. I would recommend putting in a new engine like a Chevy small block or big block, it's better than spending all that time on fixing the original engine. If you want a good project car get a 57 Chevy Belair, parts are very common for them and they are not hard to find. Thanks for sharing your Route 66 experience with us !
Shazam and gollllll-eeeee! Like a road trip with Gomer Pyle. Now I may have to watch some of these rest of this series. No idea how I wound up here. New Mexico: Land of Enchantment and lots of old rusty cars baking in the sun and cooling it in the winter. Some of the cars you quickly panned by need to be restored before they deteriorate more. Happy travels. 😎
This is literally my disneyland !!! Thank you so much for making this video and doing a walk around. Im a total truck guy and this is heaven.. Ive wanted to plan a rt 66 trip and this makes me want to go tomorrow.. We live right outside of chicago so our starting point is only afew miles away... Waiting til I finish my 66 F100 to travel on good 'ol 66 :)
the middle of this video was pretty trucked up. i'm guessing there's one or two videos left in this series,so you're definitely in the home stretch. what a long strange trip it's been. thanks for taking us along.
Dude, I love your channel! It's one of the few you can enjoy with your kids and family because you know there's nothing in it embarrassing or age inappropriate. Thank you so much for that!
I am a car guy, depending on how 'roached' the car is, you can spend anywhere from $5K-$20K it all depends on how much work needs to be done and how much you want to spend
Did you know that Kingsford Charcoal came about as a byproduct of Henry Fords car making.. There as so much wood in the original Ford cars that they took the leftovers of the trees and lumber and turned it into Charcoal..
I knew and worked for well known guy who restored 49-50 Mercurys, and others, who did everything except bodywork and paint himself, and who had access to many resources and friends in the restoration community.... His advice on old cars was if you see a restored one selling for $60,000, buy it and save yourself $50k. For instance, just the wood panels on his Mercury Woody wagon, took over a year to make and north of $25,000 in materials and labor.
Justin , I look forward to your endings, and you always make me laugh out loud ! You just make my day every time ! I'm going to order a hat and shirt right now, Thanks Buddy..
A lot of factors go into restoring a vehicle. Especially unforeseen costs. Best to estimate cost based on what you have and then add half the originally estimated cost as a backup fund.
Hi Justin. Well done on getting back to Arizona😃 I'm currently in Walt Disney World Florida 🇺🇸 I'm from UK so 1st time in 🇺🇸 b4 coming I watched your Florida Disney Videos to know whats here. I went on Imagination Station & said hi to Figment for you. Thanks for your Great Route 66 and Disneyland/World videos 😃
The problem with restoring old cars is that you will spend thousands of dollars and an enormous amount of time and labor with very little chance of getting your money back. This is a true labour of love. You do it because you enjoy it.
JEEP: The Fords were designated "GP": "G" for "Government" and "P" was Ford's code for passenger cars with 80-inch wheelbases. accounts assert "jeep" contracted the letters "GP". GP for "General Purpose" was used widely throughout the US military,
Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm a puppeteer, (not officially but like yea :p) and your voice is brilliant. Just brilliant. It has such a lively but not overwhelmingly lively attitude to it. And I'm just like, "I want Ursula powers for my character---" No but seriously, Love your voice!!
The WOOD spoked model T wheels . Making the wheels caused tons of scrap wood so Henry Ford decided to use the scrap to make FORD Charcoal. After he died investors bought Ford Charcoal company and changed the name to KINGSFORD in 1951, WOW RIGHT!
Shouldn't it be "hare it is"? Plenty of potential in some of those vehicles, but lots of work Nice little song & dance at the end - off the cuff? Almost home!!
if it has an engine, rebuilds would cost around $2000 if it's not locked up and you do it yourself, transmissions usually end up working, difs will need maintenance. restoration can be cheap if you know the people. for a runner car, it'll cost you arpund $10k to $20k to fully restore yourself in my opinion
OK this just post me off I just went through there like 3 days ago I stop at the ta truck stop and I did not know that was there that would of been cool to see. Next time I get a load to Cali I'm making this a check spot on my bucket list.
The price of an old car depends on the car and its relative value. If you did the work yourself, you could just have an unrestored runner pretty inexpensively. It all depends on what you start with, and what you want.
Justin had fun, fun, fun till Mickey took those T-birds away. And the Ford with the "bullet" grill, they are known as Shoebox Fords. I use to own one. Often dubbed, the poor man's Merc.
The amount something like that would cost really really really depends on what you're starting with. It also depends on what you want to do. Changing over to modern electrical systems and the like... Frankly, they're money pits. There's always something else to spend/work on, and if you decide to sell it on it's pretty probable you'll lose money in the deal... But if you love the car it's still worth it, for sure.
I'd say after you buy the car you could spend about $15,000 and get it running and looking nice enough to be proud of. If its got a solid body. That being said my calculations would be based on it being fix in my area. No telling what something like that would cost in California.
If I had unlimited resources, I would love to play the ultimate prank on Justin. Everything he said "I want" in this video series, I'd have it delivered to his home before he arrived. Just imagine all the cars, animals, souvenirs, clothes and crazy stuff he'd have sitting on his front yard.
have to make a correction you called a Ford Galaxie 500 Ford Fairlane so next time check it out that was a Galaxy 500 maybe an LTD I'm not sure that was just the fanciest one Fairlane was a smaller vehicle!
The price depends on how rare the car is. Parts can be hard to find. Someting like a Chevy or a old Ford you would save money but like a old Packard or such would cost alot of money. Just to get a old roach running and driving and no real repair, if the car was complete could be as little at a couple of grand. But to make it something you could drive on a weekly basis could cost alot more. If you ever run into something more specific, let me know. I can help ya.
Well to get it running again the mechanic you would bring it to would: 1 Have experience with old classic cars 2 He would have to find old parts that don't sell anymore in the car industry 3 He would need to repaint the car so it stops rusting That would be at least 30 000-50 000G
jeep isn't unknown! The word jeep comes from G.P. It is an abbreviation in American English slang meaning general purpose. Jeepwas first used in early 1941. The wordis influenced by Eugene the Jeep(who had extraordinary powers but only said "jeep"), from E.C. Segar's comic strip "Thimble Theater" (also home of Popeye the Sailor).
First? I'm a car guy and have owned over 100. They can be money pits, Full restorations can into the millions for some cars, And you most certainly will lose money if you sold them if you weren't. Just buy an original or restored car and let the previous owner take the hit. I mean, you could leave the Patena ( faded paint and surface rust )on it and just do the drivetrain. so, $5000, to 1 billion! Depends on the car or truck." GP" was the military code meaning General Purpose, (JEEP)
Hi Justin! Loved. that pee pee dance at the end! I see why you are so smart! You listen to audio books while you travel. I wish I could do that, but I am a visual learner. I have to read it or see it in order to retain information. Anyway, loved the cars and the rest of the video! See ya on the flip side!
How much does it cost to restore one of those old great cars you saw, oh that's easy. Anywhere from a few hundred to one hundred thousand bucks. It's just not as easy as one number. Right now I'm restoring a 1955 Chevy Cameo and doing everything myself, including paint work, it will still run several thousand dollars. Do a full body off restoration, add several thousand more. So there's no number you can pinpoint. Kind of sorry the Route 66 adventure is coming to an end. I'm just in the planning stages of my trip. I've gotten lots of great ideas from your videos of what to do, and where to go. Thanks.
when it comes to your question. I'm not really any good with mechanics of money so I don't know how much it would cost. but i know if i was able to. The moment i started i would probably keep working until it was fully restored. btw. i agree with your view on thirties to sixties cars. niiiiiice! especially t birds.
How much it would cost t restore one of the relics you were looking at? To quote old JP Morgan, if you have to ask, you can't afford it. Seriously, the cars in that yard would probably be just used for parts.
FYI...in the stories of the famous British detective series Sherlock Holmes; Prof. Moriarty was the evil criminal always trying to kill Mr. Holmes. 🕵️♂️👁
On the car restoration cost, it will come in grossly over budget. Guaranteed. Always buy one already restored. However, if everyone knew that, no more would be resurrected from the dead. lol
I restored cars for years you're better off to buy one already done and then put on her own personal touch to make it yours in the long run it's a lot cheaper if you're able to do the work yourself then you can save money but you can't buy one already done

That's quite a car collection! What a guy! I like looking at collections like that!
All these Route 66 videos make me get in my car head all the way down the road!
SC THEKiDD Same here!
thanks for showing us those cars, Justin 😊 i love them so much! 💕 i miss my '61. today's cars are strictly for transportation, no character. ♡
Justin, this journey has become a daily-ish thing for us... really enjoy every minute of your quirky yet entertaining ( and very informative) story. I wish you could start all over again. It has been an amazing journey.- TV worthy!. YOU ROCK! Steve and family. Very sad when it does end.
I'm not really into cars, but the ancient Lorrys and wooden spoked cars are really appealing!
Drive safely, Justin. If you're tired, stop and make up the difference the next day.
I went here a week after this was published. Lewis and his wife were so impressed with Justin. He had fellow subscribers who got their picture with him. I hated to leave just talking to Lewis.

Just one word....AMAZING! Thanks Justin!
10 to 20 grand is a good range to make an old car functional and reasonably nice.
good stuff.glad you had a safe and fun trip justin.
Dude, I love your channel! It's one of the few you can enjoy with your kids and family because you know there's nothing in it embarrassing or age inappropriate. Thank you so much for that!

Just to get a beater like you pointed out running, around $500-$1000 if you do it yourself
Very cool find. This sent me on a RUclips worm hole into how to drive a Model T. Two hours later. Hahaha
The rhyme at the end was hilarious!
Justin , I look forward to your endings, and you always make me laugh out loud ! You just make my day every time !
I'm going to order a hat and shirt right now,
Thanks Buddy..
Man what a treasure for a Sunday
Lets just say between 5k and 100K depending on the condition you want it is when its finished
A lot of factors go into restoring a vehicle. Especially unforeseen costs. Best to estimate cost based on what you have and then add half the originally estimated cost as a backup fund.
Can't imagine how it feels in the dang desert today... hot enough out here in the Inland Empire.
Great video, per usual bud.
Nice find with those model T's!
Hi Justin. Well done on getting back to Arizona😃
I'm currently in Walt Disney World Florida 🇺🇸 I'm from UK so 1st time in 🇺🇸
b4 coming I watched your Florida Disney Videos to know whats here.
I went on Imagination Station & said hi to Figment for you.

The problem with restoring old cars is that you will spend thousands of dollars and an enormous amount of time and labor with very little chance of getting your money back. This is a true labour of love. You do it because you enjoy it.
To get them functional it cost between 20 to 40 thousand dollars, but you can make twice as much once they are restored.
From my experience to get a car like that all refurbished and running again, probably 30,000 to up to over 100,000 depending on the car
JEEP: The Fords were designated "GP": "G" for "Government" and "P" was Ford's code for passenger cars with 80-inch wheelbases. accounts assert "jeep" contracted the letters "GP". GP for "General Purpose" was used widely throughout the US military,
Another great one thanks for sharing
That COE at 3:57 it's sweet. It sucks that when this guy passes they'll get rid of all this stuff. hopefully I get to see it one day.
So WEIRDDDD seeing you stop places I've been over the years.
Very good work! Love it!
Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm a puppeteer, (not officially but like yea :p) and your voice is brilliant. Just brilliant. It has such a lively but not overwhelmingly lively attitude to it. And I'm just like, "I want Ursula powers for my character---"
No but seriously, Love your voice!!
SaraBLQ And James sometimes :p ... Voice overs for cartoons...
Like you said depends on the car. Just to get one running and if there were parts, 10 to 20 thousand dollars.
The WOOD spoked model T wheels . Making the wheels caused tons of scrap wood so Henry Ford decided to use the scrap to make FORD Charcoal. After he died investors bought Ford Charcoal company and changed the name to KINGSFORD in 1951, WOW RIGHT!
Shouldn't it be "hare it is"?
Plenty of potential in some of those vehicles, but lots of work
Nice little song & dance at the end - off the cuff? Almost home!!

Justin, you would love an old divco milk truck. Check them out.
Great scootypoooin there! Lol
The price of an old car depends on the car and its relative value. If you did the work yourself, you could just have an unrestored runner pretty inexpensively. It all depends on what you start with, and what you want.
Wot? No puppies?!! What a letdown! 😂
Around 10,000-15,000 to get it in good running condition and making look decent.
To get it running it would be 5 to 10 grand and to fully restore it, it depends of what you want to do and can cost up to 50 grand
very cool. Love these Route 66 vlogs
Justin had fun, fun, fun till Mickey took those T-birds away. And the Ford with the "bullet" grill, they are known as Shoebox Fords. I use to own one. Often dubbed, the poor man's Merc.
The amount something like that would cost really really really depends on what you're starting with. It also depends on what you want to do. Changing over to modern electrical systems and the like... Frankly, they're money pits. There's always something else to spend/work on, and if you decide to sell it on it's pretty probable you'll lose money in the deal... But if you love the car it's still worth it, for sure.
Having said that, I found a '64 Galaxie the other day for about $9500 that looked like a halfway decent starting point.
Did you notice the one truck said 'ACME' .. I wonder if that's how Wile E got his stuff delivered lol
I'd say 3,-000-5,000 to get it in good working order, but if you want showroom quality i'd say 20,000 to 50,000.
Michael Zaucha i agree. this could have been one good episode of road kill.
drove in some of those...
I'd say after you buy the car you could spend about $15,000 and get it running and looking nice enough to be proud of. If its got a solid body. That being said my calculations would be based on it being fix in my area. No telling what something like that would cost in California.

my first car was a 1966 Ford Mercury Comet. wish i still had it.
Cool video :)

AWESOME!!! 👌❤️
dang good vlog
Well to get it running again the mechanic you would bring it to would:
1 Have experience with old classic cars
2 He would have to find old parts that don't sell anymore in the car industry
3 He would need to repaint the car so it stops rusting
That would be at least 30 000-50 000G
It depends on car / truck or bus and whom you know and depends on how much you want to spend
always enjoy your videos! What do you think of the Dodge Journey?

How much does it cost to restore one of those old great cars you saw, oh that's easy. Anywhere from a few hundred to one hundred thousand bucks. It's just not as easy as one number. Right now I'm restoring a 1955 Chevy Cameo and doing everything myself, including paint work, it will still run several thousand dollars. Do a full body off restoration, add several thousand more.
So there's no number you can pinpoint.
Kind of sorry the Route 66 adventure is coming to an end. I'm just in the planning stages of my trip. I've gotten lots of great ideas from your videos of what to do, and where to go. Thanks.
It really depends on what you want to do and how much you do yourself, there is no set price
That continental divide stuff is not always true.We have a river in minnesota that flows north towarsds canada.
Can you keep up the daily's after the trip?
You found Rat Rod paradise
when it comes to your question. I'm not really any good with mechanics of money so I don't know how much it would cost. but i know if i was able to. The moment i started i would probably keep working until it was fully restored. btw. i agree with your view on thirties to sixties cars. niiiiiice! especially t birds.
How much it would cost t restore one of the relics you were looking at? To quote old JP Morgan, if you have to ask, you can't afford it. Seriously, the cars in that yard would probably be just used for parts.
Talk about them trying to copy each other who saw the Chevy that looked like a delorion

FYI...in the stories of the famous British detective series Sherlock Holmes; Prof. Moriarty was the evil criminal always trying to kill Mr. Holmes. 🕵️♂️👁
On the car restoration cost, it will come in grossly over budget. Guaranteed. Always buy one already restored. However, if everyone knew that, no more would be resurrected from the dead. lol

$20k was my first thought but don't take my word for it.
around $15,000 but if you put around $30,000 and you could flip it for much more

Hey Justin
Bo you ever read any of these comments???
I restored cars for years you're better off to buy one already done and then put on her own personal touch to make it yours in the long run it's a lot cheaper if you're able to do the work yourself then you can save money but you can't buy one already done
