Well said. For me the nice thing about "investing" in an old car is you get to own it and drive it. Let's say you bought a 70 Dart for 10,000 two years ago and invested another 5,000 and two years of your time into it making it what you want.. then you drive it for the next 10 years, that's only 1,250 a year. It's what you always wanted ~ maybe it's even your "dream" car, but now 12 years later it's time to sell it.. what's it worth? What if it's only worth 9,000 now ~ have you really lost 6,000? I say no.. you drove the car for all those years and got exactly what you wanted out of it.. there's "personal value" in that. It "cost" you another 500 a year in depreciation ~ 1,750 a year and a life time of cool Mopar memories ~ and you still have a 9,000 car to sell, not bad... in fact, I'd call that a good investment. :thumbsup:
