Buy one that's done!

Excellent point. At one time I had my 1967 RS for sale at a certain dollar amount. Yes, it wasn't cheap but the car is worth every penny in my mind. Some on here have seen it.
But anyways, I had someone come look at the car and he started pointing at things (which were not an issue) just so he could try to get me to come down on my price.
He offered me $5k less then my asking price saying he didn't feel the car was worth it. To add this was his first Camaro he was buying. Finally I just said to him "go build one and see what it cost you". First you have to find a nice car to start with then add the cost of restore and parts.
Well a couple months later he called back and offered me my asking price. I turned him down. He should have done his research before he came and looked at the car and wasted my time.
I totally agree, it's cheaper to buy them done. Great point.

Not to mention you can enjoy it TODAY.Of course there are craftsman who's reward comes from the restoration itself.
Anyone price a set of second gen NOS rally wheel hubcaps lately? Both these cars need big hugs-If you were GIVEN either and did them correctly you still be upside down at the end of the journey.Like previously stated some cars are worth doing an others are not-where will the second gen market be in two years time when the car is actually finished? Perhaps the fellow that bought this one did the math and thought the same.JMHO
