Finally Tired of Antics on Graveyard Cars

You’re never going to see anyone pay $90,000 for a stock 318 Valiant or Dart. Dan Short from Fantomworks has stated that people are idiots if they think that their cars can be restored for $50,000. If you do everything yourself, it is possible but paying for body and paint on an A body isn’t going to be much less than a comparable Challenger or Road Runner but the final sale price of those E and B bodies will be much higher.
Look, I love all the Mopars but you need to face reality. A 318 Duster won’t pull the same money as a 383 Satellite. There are a few desirable 340 A bodies that are excellent cars but they will never bid for 3 million at auction like a Charger Daytona or HemiCuda. The lesser Chargers benefit from the Daytona fame as do the 383 Barracudas.
Worman has said that he couldn’t do the restorations for the prices that he does if NOT for the income he gets from the TV show.

People have absolutely paid as much as Worman charges to restore A-bodies, and there are 6 figure A-body restorations out there. Whether or not they resell for that much is irrelevant, I'm sure some of the B/E bodies he's done cost more to restore than they ended up selling for. Most, and I mean MOST, people that pay to have a car restored have more money in the car than the final value of the car ends up being. They still pay for the restorations, because believe it or not, not everyone that pays for a restoration is in it for the money.

If Worman can't do restorations for the ridiculous price he charges without making money off the show, it just proves he's not very good at what he does as a businessman. Plenty of shops out there doing restoration work and making money without the help of a TV show.
