Mecum prices?

And when they find out they've been burnt they will sell their acquisition off and never buy another old car again. It's a shame that they don't arm themselves with information and make a wise purchase. They are folks that will be lost to the hobby forever in some cases. I see this often.

So true. There is a gentleman near by that had that happen on a '67 big block Vette. I have been able to keep him in the collector car community by helping him make corrections to the car and improve it. Through this he has met many good friends and enjoyed improving the car through his stewardship. Now he is much more knowledgable and considering buying his next car.

An expensive lesson but one that can be learned from and make a person better for it.
