Ok. Here is a thought. My Father In Law was at one time a serious collector of antique autos. He bought a beautiful jag roadster from a known "restorer." The car is not that great. It is obvious that it was done with a profit and loss consideration. End result. Probably not the best deal.

On the other hand, he bought a 57 corvette from an enthusiast. When he added up the receipts, it turns out the parts were $5000 less than the total cost of the car. Seven years of labor sold for $5k. That is a NICE car. It was built with no thought of selling.

I don't know if this helps, but it might be worth thinking about.
