Restoration values are very subjective...there have been dozens, if not more "frame-off restoration" L78 Novas for sale on various forums and websites over the last few years. The true difference in these cars is "who did the resto"...it's that simple. The name shops and/or individuals that have a great attention to detail turn out a superior product. You all know who they are...There are lots of cars out there that have been restored by ABC Autobody of Anywhere, USA....it is easy to spot these in the crowd. The most important parts of a quality resto are the things you don't see at the first glance...the devil is in the details. Pay your money and take your choice...
