I don't think I have ever known anyone who recovered their investment in a
restoration project if they sold as soon as the project is completed. I suspect
if you keep the car for a few years and don't beat it up again you might break
even or make a few inflated bucks.
If you want to see really expensive cars to fix up, and having been around one
years ago I will never understand why, look at the Sunbeam Alpine on eBay.
Those
guys are either rich or crazy.
