you will not make a profit buying the car, fixing it and selling it. the way to make money restoring a muscle car is restoring someone else's muscle car that has the money to pay for it to be done right. though since you dont have a reputation for doing this no one will pay you to do that. so if your really serious about doing this as a business, buy a car, restore it and be sure to take pictures of every little detail and every single thing you do from start to finish and use the car as an advertisement, because if/when you sell the car you WILL loose money. but if it gets you business then its a worthwhile investment.
