A very good example of resto cost and value of a 69 Cuda

I've always said you are better off buying a classic mopar completely finished unless you are a hobbiest and like the work. My hardtop has around 20K in it total maybe a smidge less. My Ragtop about 3K in it total in 1985 then Restored (driver quality) myself 2018 adding about another 4k .That does not include my labor as I built these cars myself . I enjoyed building it myself and take pride in saying Built not Bought. I don't thinks it's wrong for someone to buy and drive it. You just don't have that (I did it myself) pride. JMO

Agree totally, and when you buy someone elses completed creation you have to be content with what they did to it or invest more than what you paid for it to make it right for you.
