- If his son ever sees the Barrett-Jackson auctions on TV and sees the value of classic cars he may get his head screwed on right -

- The trick is to find nice popular cars that have already been restored - if you attempt to have someone qualified to restore it will likely cost you much more than buying a nicely restored car that is finished and has paid for by someone else -

- Many people do not mind not getting their investment in restoration back - they have the big bucks and just like to play the auction game and get new wheels -

- ‘67-’69 Camaros are hot now - even if upgraded from a basic 6 cylinder commuting car to clone with a zippy 350ci with upgraded suspension and brakes - the jazzy red Camaro SS-396 convertible Guy Fiero drives on the Food Channel is a great example of that. Is it authentic - or is ir a Retro-Mod?

- Who knows -

The guy said a friend of his watched an episode of one of those shows and a MINT perfect one went for 70K.

I know only too well about spending money on oldies. Got one dead one and one sort of operational shape here.
