In our area you’l do well to get 50% of your restoration cost back and that is for parts cost only. Realize the average original car today is in much worse condition than the average 40 years ago so it is more expensive to restore. As mentioned, profit is not why we do this. Total restore investment does have a bearing on initial procurement cost.
You mentioned taking an average of the prices offered. It you do so you’l end up with a value no one offered. Rank the prices then take the middle or mean value. That way you have an actual price.
