A second look at often ignored project cars

[hp2]

That is all true if you build cars for perceived value and resale. If you build them for a passion you have, then I don't see them as worthless. Yes you will face different challenges with these because of the lack of aftermarket support. But the lower interest level means it is easier to acquire parts cars to use in the build.

But perhaps that is because I have owned a couple of vehicles from that list. They do respond as favorably to similar mods that more desireable cars take, and elevating them to that same performance level, in my experience, always was met with disbelief and respect of their potential. I found it quite satisfying when my disco era smogger put a more desireable muscle era car on the trailer after a run and the usual conversation after that was enevitively "no way is that a small block" and "I didn't think those could be made to run like that."
