compare that to the bluebook value, and you'll realize that people who restore/hotrod these cars do it for the love of the car, and not to turn a quick profit.
if profit is what you have in mind (and it seems to be for people seeking barn finds), the 951 is not for you.  |
I actually think you can have a better car cheaper by buying one that needs work.
For example. I got a huge discount on my car because it needed a clutch. I upgraded to a cup clutch, KEP pressure plate, rebuilt the torque tube and fixed a few other issues while in there.
Now I have a far superior set up over stock and spent less total than I would have buying a car that didn't need a clutch. (and would have only come with a working stock unit that may fail in the near future).
