Here is a good example of how things can go left in a hurry. This is why you build a car because you want to not to make cash. If you want to soften your loss potential you build it in a way it will appeal to the masses and what is market desirable. I hope this car does not belong to anyone here as I'm sure what I am to type will be offensive to them. I am just stating facts and my opinion.

This seller says he is into this one $55k. Easy to believe even at the mostly stock level of the restoration. None of the typical restomod type upgrades. Stock suspension and drive train, near as I can tell from pics and description. Asking price is very high (about 15% less than he says he's into it). Reality is this car would be hard to sell at even $30k for a number of reasons, the primary being questionable engine/trans and some really poor cosmetic choices. Silver interior? Really? Whatever. Point being there is nothing about this car that would make a buyer willing to pay much for it. Especially when the market has plenty of much better options available.
Here are just a couple selling side by side on eBay right now. Which would you choose? There are also a number of rollers and unmolested originals in decent shape for about a third this guys asking price.
