Default Re: Million dollar project car?!

A buddy of mine just went and looked at an original owner 440 six barrel hardtop 70 Cuda recently. Beach area car and rusted beyond saving. The guys says: "I've had it all these years and its been stored inside. At Barrett Jackson these are going for a couple hundred thousand. All I want is $80,000." We told him that storing it inside, at a beach house, on concrete was about the same as storing it in a salt water tank. He still thought it was "Barrett Jackson quality!!??" To save that car you'd have to invest about $300,000 in the resto in order to get $200,000 for the car. The guy just didn't get it. The only that wasn't rusted through was the original window sticker.
