I agree with Scott and Jeff-I hate to see these cars disappear from the
States. Too many have been shipped overseas as it is! And living in
California, it seems like everyone wants our neat old classics! So many of
these cars aren't even sold in the U.S but shipped overseas as it is!

Maybe because you're using the cheaper labour in China, but being rather
close to a good restoration shop, who it just so happens sells a great many
cars to overseas buyers-you have to really sell the car for a lot to recoup
the money spent on the restorations-if they are really GOOD restorations.
Otherwise, is it going to be just a "lets get it looking good enough and
running good enough to get them turned around and out the door" sort of
thing? Hate to say it, but sounds so "used car dealer"!

No, I agree with Scott and Jeff  completely and on all the points they
already raised on this one...
