I don't think you will see much of a profit margin without using alot of used parts. Hypathetically speaking, you could build a hurricane fairly easily for $20k if you did ALL the work yourself to include paint. That would be with a pretty mild engine, 351 with heads and intake, or even a 5.0. Nowdays, your best bet would be to buy a foxbody with a decent engine and a t5 and swap them in and then sell the foxbody as a roller to recoup some cash. I would still not see this car being sold for much more than $23-25 MAYBE. Depending on the quality of your work, could be more, could be less.
Something you might consider... Get it totally ready for paint and then let the new owner choose the colors. You might have a decent chance of getting a little extra if it is the exact color the potential buyer would want.
