I have an interesting thought. My car if it were intended to be a pro-touring car would be getting 95% of the sheet metal replaced.
Since it will be more of a street fighter/ Race car I will be repairing some panels.
Partially because I expect I might bang them up anyway.
I wont be getting a 15K paint job, I wont be purchasing a 25k power plant for the same power I can make for 10K simply because that's the hot setup this month in the pro touring scene or what will bring more resale $$$.
I wont spend close to 10K on wheels and tires. I wont have a 3K gauge cluster I wont have a hand fabricated anything unless I make it myself.
So basically a nice PT car cost more so therefore they sell for more .. Some will say your getting more. Some will say they don't need the more the $$ buys.
It's all a matter of getting what you want an enjoying what you have
