Probably 5-10 grand depending on how picky you are... That would be a good vehicle to restore because it's small, simple, and there's lots of cheap parts available for them.
Keep dreaming, little mikey. One CANNOT "restore" any vehicle to "original" -- because IT WOULDN'T BE ORIGINAL. You don't seem to know what that word means.
Regardless of your poor phrasing, it'd probably be in the neighborhood of $10,000 to $15,000 to RESTORE it to showroom condition, if you wanted it done right. And no, of course, you couldn't "register it with zero miles", LOL. Many states don't even track mileage on cars 10+ years old, but if they do, that would be fraudulent on your part.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
