That said, this has been my most profitable car to date, though I did restore a Dodge Challenger (purchased for under $10k) and sold it for right at $160k. I’ve restored a few other vehicles, from cheapo’s that had been gutted at the junkyard, to auction-bought vehicles that had decent cosmetics but the suspension and engine were in horrible shape. Here are a few pictures of the car, I had to get some because I enjoyed restoring this particular car. Made me realize that I should watch out for certain finds in the junkyard and barns, as I can make some serious bank restoring these.

I’ll take it! I actually have another car almost identical to this one that I need to restore. The car value had increased almost a full $5k, which wasn’t that shabby. I hopped over to the detailing cart, brought it to the car, and let the cart do its magic. I noticed at the last second that the Interior Condition was at 14%, which was hurting my value. After I detailed the interior, and test drove it a bit. Little did I know, post-restoration the value would be ludicrous. I purchased the car for almost $32k in terrible condition, which blew my mind. Finishing up the last few things I had missed, when I noticed the price.Ĭar value before the restoration was even 100% finished was nearly $150k! Not to mention that nice restoration bonus of $29k! I bought the car, a Bolt Reptilia R2 Supercharged, at a barn last night, shortly before logging off for the day. The result is posted over on my earlier CMS article, the teal car. After 2 hours of working on the car, I finally finished. I had to completely gut the car, repair the body panels, body, and replace all the parts. The initial one was actually an order, an older vehicle with nearly every single part at 50% life, give or take. I started restoring cars in the game’s Normal mode.
