From a strictly financial point of view, it never pays to pay for a nut and bolt restoration on a muscle car short of it being a ZL-1, Yenko, etc and even then only if originally purchased at a very reasonable price.
If starting today and using a professional shop for the work, it's easily $100K on low side and about $200K or more on the high side.
Concourse or close to concourse level car restoration is only for emotional reasons / love of the hobby such as restoring your first car, or your fathers or grandfathers car. It virtually never makes financial sense and probably has been that way for past 10-15 years at least.
