B Jackson 68 Barracuda 383-S

This topic amazes me in that it really generates some strong opinions on how other people spend their money! I own and personally work an aircraft restoration shop where we do the same kind of work to antique airplanes as what was done to the typical rotis restored Barret Jackson car. I can personally say that most of those purchasers have great passion for the vehicles they are buying but don't have the mechanical skills to do it themselves but certanly appreciate what it takes to do it right. And , or they have done the math as was demonstrated by someone else and know that it's cheaper to buy it done than to do it themselves and thankfully they do the math and determin that a particular vehicle is worth spending their money on or I wouldn't have a business. their is a huge difference between a nice car and a show car. I personally am glad to see the values come up as it does a couple things, yea the parts prices come up some but atleast now parts become available as it is worth making parts that I couldn't even dream of getting not so long ago, and it makes saving that rust bucket that would have ended up in the scraper, which in itself has brought prices up. At least now it makes investing in our toys a little easier. Carry on, build what you want the way you want it and let the investors help you along the way!
