I got what you were saying, Mark. My comment was just more of a general observation. It's been my experience that the only profits to be made on our cars are by the swindlers who do quick surface level cosmetic jobs to hide the realities beneath and pass them along to unsuspecting buyers. Our cars are more of a hobby/love that isn't about profit.Of course I've not finished restoring the Mach yet so I may find out that the appraised value is not the same as the invested value. My point was that when a classic car is totally disassembled, its salable value is not congruent with the invested value. A point the seller may not wish to acknowledge. There are fewer and fewer men who are able and willing to take someone else's project and finish it and pay for the priviledge to do so.
