Title: Why Do Classic Vehicles Cost So Much, Is Simple...
Post by: Ben Framed on April 24, 2024, 11:41:22 am
Are you interested in older vehicles? This fellow explains why, in his opinion classic vehicles cost so much. Parts, paint, hours spent, etc. This seems to be a popular hobby these days. Have any of you attempted to restore an older vehicle?

Very short clip...

I don't restore them, I just nurse them along and I have always been of the opinion that it would be cheaper to just buy one that someone else restored, as long as the work was good.

first car.. acquired and started on it when I was 14. Drove it for years and never considered it "finished" .. a '61 Austin-Healy 3000 . Doesn't run right now, but maybe I'll get around to restoring it after I'm done paying for kids.  :cheesy:

btw ... "beast" is a different car, a modified 1954 BN1 rust bucket with a 302 Chevy and a B&M hydro-stick trans. Next version of it will be a blown 400/400 turbo .. have motor, blower and trans. but a lot of work ahead
