Default Interesting thing about price of cars...

I'm restomodding a 67 Impala Fastback.
I got the car for $400.00 witha running 283/poweglide...67K orig miles!
I JUMPED in and I LOVE the car...
However this is not a POPULAR car for aftermarket/Restoration parts...
Rechroming the bumpers is going to be $1,000!!!!!!
I could buy NEW bumpers for a 69 Camaro for $125 each.

Popular cars have cheaper parts, but the CAR is more expensive to get.

Less popular cars are cheaper to get, but parts are more expensive.

ALOT of trade offs.
