If you build a truly high end car you will loose money when the sale happens.
You only build a restomod or hotrod if it's your dream car to drive and enjoy.
And can you take that money, light it on fire and not be financially strapped after?

I agree, how can some of these builders get top dollar with the heart of the car (engine) and suspension basically being stock. I remember talking with a reseller of these builds and he couldn’t believe the type of money he was getting for them. That’s not to say that every now and then an excellent complete build (that includes engine and suspension upgrades) hits the market and may demand top dollar but a “look” should not be compared to the exceptional ones.
