I was watching one of those car shows on TV this AM, and there was a Mach 1 Mustang (69) that some guy was selling at an auction. It looked very similar to what Dave's working on. Same color, even.
The guy said he had $200K in the restoration, TWO HUNDRED FREAKING THOUSAND DOLLARS!
The car sold for $47,000 dollars..................
Yep! He watched too many auction shows. You don't actually get to drive the cars that sell for several hundred thousand dollars or more.
What I want to know is, how the hell do you get into $200K into a restoration on a car that only cost$3k to begin with? How many cars could you buy for that.
You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
