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

To me the top of the mountain is the rare desirable and total perfect survivor. Few out there. Seldom changes hands. Not grandmas four door Valiant, yes it is very cool, but not worth the $ obviously. Given enough $ any car can be restored, or over restored or made into what ever.
Ah the resto mod. With its fuel injection and modern seats and improved suspension, etc etc Perfect car, dives like a new one. Only thing lackng is the true experience of the old car from back in the day. I guess if you never lived it, you don't relate to it.
