Answer 1

That depends on what kind of paint job, interior work,etc. just look around and examine their work you may spend the same amount on the materials but is the kind of work what you're paying for.

For instance ou can get a 200 dollar paint job at Earl Scheib's, or you can spend 3 to 5 grand for a really nice one. remeber you get what you pay for.

Answer 2

Well, first off you will never find a 69 Challenger.  The Challenger was produced from 1970-1974.  So you are not buying a 69 Challenger.  That is impossible.

Second, the things you are looking for have a wide range of prices.  The aforementioned "$2-700" paint jobs will not be of the highest quality.  Shure, you can GET one for that, but a decent one will be in the thousands if done right.

THe rest of the work is not that bad - but the parts for vintage Mopar restoration are very expensive.  To get a real repro dash, expect the parts to be in the 4-500 range.

But again - there is no such creature as a 69 Challenger.

Answer 3

1. Paint jobs can go anywhere between 200-700 depends on how you plan on painting it!

2. sound systems is really on what you buy
