Default Re: L89 Ragtop on Ebay

[ QUOTE ]
#2.Anybody here ever restore a car to #1 condtion? Buy all the parts? Add in a set of correct L-89 heads. Go get a cherry 69 Rag Top core..even a gold 307 car..try to get one for under $20,000..just for the core.

Have a car painted at the body shop lately? Bring 10 grand [or more] for a nice job on a rust-free car. Add it up guys, and tell me how you can build a 4-speed, aluminum head 4 bolt main, car. $70K for parts alone...not to mention labor

[/ QUOTE ] While i certainly agree what things cost, restoring a car and spending that money doesnt give the car that added value unless the car is valuable due to rarity first. I can restore a 70 Malibu and spend 60K easily doing it as in your post above, it doesnt make the Malibu worth 60K however...If your above example was the case, anyone could take any car, restore it and then get paid for thier work.That doesnt normally happen
