Classics are just for fun

I WAS wondering if it was worth buying an old EH Holden or other classic old car and restoring it to mint condition and selling. If yes, which cars would you recommend?

IT IS worth buying and restoring a classic car only for the fun of it. The high cost of restoration means it's difficult to make money out of selling it later, but you might cover your costs if you can do the restoration work yourself. Buy the best car possible because it will take much less time, effort and money to restore than a more decrepit vehicle would need, and the end result will be better. The EH is a great classic car. It's simple to restore and there are lots of parts available. Rare models are worth more, so an EH Premier is the best to buy. Other cars to think about are an HK, HT, HG Monaro, LC, LJ Torana, and GT Falcon.
