current muscle car values

I screwed up back in the early 2000's. I had my original radiator, but somewhere before me the fan obviously collided with the radiator and gouged it good...yet it didn't leak. Anyhow, it ran hot so I had a new radiator put in it. It was just a mom and pop shop but they still just replaced with a new one rather than re-core my original.

Ouch, that hurts, and it’s too late to reverse that by the time you realize it. I have a “buddy” that has a big block convertible 68 Cuda. His car was in a fender bender in 1971 and put away just like that. He brought it home after 35 years, and immediately started to screw things up. First thing he did was take out the radiator and throw it in his pile of scrap radiators. I asked him what happened to it and he said he threw it in the scrap because it was bent. A $900 mistake. Luckily I pulled it from the rubble, hit him over the head with it, and told him not to touch the car unless I was there to help. He must’ve been listening, he hasn’t touched in since. Won’t sell it either, says maybe for $100k!
