I'm not too fond of flippers who see an underpriced car, grab it and immediately put it back to market. And doubly so if they harvest some cherry parts like sport seats or deep 6's and destroy something that was still original.
But if a car has been on mothballs for a decade and a guy rebuilds the carbs, cleans the gas tank, changes the fluids, gives it a tune up and restores it to road going condition then I think he deserves some compensation for his time and "materials".
That '70 I mention above was bought to drive. I kept it for about a year. Then the market took off and I needed some money for my business. I paid $1k for it and sold it for close to $10k. I feel no remorse for making a profit on that car. I was just in the right place at the right time.
