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

I have been to Mopars nats first time about 1987?
I admit I am not a show show type but I love to see beautiful cars no matter what make or type of build. There is a place in our hobby for everything and everyone.
Would I buy a "done" car with shaved door handles. No. I would not want it that way nor want to do the work and spend the $ to undo it. Just me. Does it make that car worth less? Just to me maybe. Am I am 100% nubers guy? No. But I will not put down anyone for their style of build. I will not put down the guy that cannot afford or have the ability or tools to do it "right" either! ha
How did we get off subject! ha

I do too.

But the original post seemed to be focusing on money aspect of it. In this thread’s title; “...resto cost and value...”

Dollar Spend vs Dollar Sold.

My point is between those two things are Choices Made. The choices you make for the dollar spent can greatly effect the dollar sold.

People are not obligated to put value to someone else’s poor choices.

People spend lots of money going around in circles.

...same goes for life in general.
