Funny.... I was with a couple "newbs" today at a swap meet - we discussed some of the "odd ball" cars there for sale. I was trying to explain to them - that it cost the same money for motor rebuilds - paint - interior - wheels etc to do the odd ball -- and sometimes because of parts that are unavailable - might actually cost MORE to do than one of the bellybutton "popular" cars...
I don't think they got it -- but I tried. All they could see was "it's rare" -- or "it's cheap".... And I kept telling them --- YEAH -- it's rare because nobody wanted it then either... and NO -- it's not cheap when you lose your azz on the sell side... and pay more than it was worth to fix up.
