I figure the rich and famous have bigger asperations that I, the simple common man.
I was fortunate to have been in the hobby back in 80s, 90, maybe early 2000s when decent "actual muscle cars" we easy to find and could be bought and not kill the bank. Especially builders.
I have about aged out of the hobby, but I am also greatful that TODAY I have NO desire to own a high $ car at all , even if I could afford such.
Fortunately, the Darts, Dusters, the "poor mans" car of that day, are still out there as affordable projects. Amateur restos are affordable (sometimes). Problem is the $$ it takes to just get it on the road and not be a total pile of rust!!
