In my experience with restoring Chevelles for myself and others, you are always $$$ ahead buying a running, driving car than getting a fixer-upper, even more so if you don't have the skills and time to repair it yourself. You're also ahead because you're actually driving and enjoying the car instead of looking at a pile of parts and worrying how it'll ever become anything. There are hundreds of half finished projects in garages throughout the country and most of them will never be finished.
The one good thing about taking on the challenge and finishing it is the feeling of accomplishment it gives you. It's always cooler to say "I did it myself" than "I bought it like this".
