I have a question I just can't figure out.
Why do folks think their rusted out old musclecars are worth a fortune? I'm not talking about project cars or semi restored cars, but the ones that have been used as plant pots for the last 10 years. The response I got from the owner of 2 6 cyl '65 coupes was $10K each. Mind you these vehicles were so eaten through with rust, minus engine/tranny/wheels/glass, etc. , that they may not have been worth saving. Also I hear the old "I'm going to fix it up one day", If you haven't touched the car in 10 years, what makes you think you'll do anything with it in the NEXT 10 years.
My brother and I have a part-time business where we "rescue" old musclecars from certain death. We don't do Concours restoration, but every part is original, no "go fast" or aftermarket parts. We don't make much money off it, but we do it because its a shame to see a piece of history go to waste because somebody would rather see their car rust away then sell it.
