I think you’re right. There are outfits out there doing something similar. A guy (in Texas, I think) who refurbishes Jeep Cherokees. A company in Indiana does the same with N series Ford tractors. Several people are rebuilding pre-electronics John Deeres. These aren’t being restored for shows or hobbyists, they’re being rebuilt to go back to work as substitutes for expensive new equipment. Camrys and Accords could be kept going for 500k miles if they are caught and refurbished before it’s too late.
