$20,000 '64 Barracuda

A person looking to buy a gold, 273, 4 speed 1965 Barracuda is unlikely to find another one in this condition for the money paid. Twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) doesn't buy as much restoration as it once did. Believe me, after restoring the running gear, paint and interior in a 65 and 66 Barracuda, I know. I did 100% of the disassembly and assembly of the body for painting (still $4500 in paint cost on rust free cars) including the engine.
The only outsourcing was engine machine work, application of the paint and installation of the seat covers.
In this Barracuda case, the seller didn't get his cost covered from the sale price (common knowledge) but did relatively good. The new buyer couldn't reproduce the work done for the money spent.

I think both buyer and seller are happy.
