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

IF someone wants a professionally restored car, so many times like example above, a donecar can be bought for pennies on the dollar. Or quarters on the $! Taking the above example of the OP, if that car had been a true 383 or 440 car, it would have cost basically the same $ for resto, but the initial cost of the project car would have no doubt been greater. It is what it is.
I enjoy the process of building a car, like many. But I have been lucky years back to have bought some "done" cars that were all I expected. I enjoyed that for what it was also.
People buy projects because they are buying a dream. Dreams sometimes come true,and sometimes not. Many times a person would buy a done car IF he had the $$ to do so! Many people will not buy something they can not be certain as to how and what the work was done.
What would the numbers for on that red car if it was a real 383 or 440 car? Just wondering.
Far as value goes let face it, us Mopar guys are a "tough crowd"!!!!!
My dream had a lot of nightmares but looking back I sure enjoy it. Even though the dream isn’t over, still plenty of stuff to do on it. My plan is when I retire I will tear it all down and start over and fix the stuff I have yet to finish. For now I enjoy driving it.
