Is it worth it, well, I guess that depends on what you want to drive everyday, how much money you have (had if you get into it) and how tolerant your wife is. Sometimes I say no, (specially when I have to write the checks) but most of the time I say Hell Yes.
Whatever your planning on spending to buy the car, plan on at least 3 times as much as your starting budget in rebuilding it for parts and any labor, and at least 6 months longer than you plan for in the time your rebuilding it.
Parts are not cheap, nor is labor. As you will see. Find a local Pantera Club to you, go to a meeting and ask lots of questions. Then decide.
If you haven't done this before, I suggest you buy a new Vette. There may be many of them around , but at least there's some reality and some sanity in parts and labor costs. Not to mention a warranty. There's are a lot of cars that can be had for the 60+ you'll be into you car.
Good luck.
