Musings: Restoration = Money loss! (ALWAYS)

here is a 73 duster 225/6 3 speed manual i paid $3000 for 2 years ago because it is 98% rust free and it is still wearing its FY1 original paint. yes , maybe a little much, but they just dont come much cleaner around here. i have added the scoop, the go-wing, new grill , V8/727 with headers and related components, buckets, tuff wheel, wheels and tires adding up close to $2500 - $3000, so i have $5700 give or take a few hundred into it. today, i would be lucky to get $3500. i do it because im addicted to mopars and im not looking to get back what i have into them.
