TOTALLY AGREE!!
I looked at a 67 Barracuda FB 383 4 speed a few years ago. It was rough with a lot of missing parts, and it had a lot of rust. Oddly enough, it was on a used car lot here in town. It appeared to be an original, real deal car, but I did not research it further because he wanted $38,000 for it (as I remember). I told him that was too much, and he said, "These things are worth $80K when they are restored." I told him that his car was probably at least $100K away from being restored and worth the $80K he was talking about. It sat on his lot for quite a while.
