Well, for some people this is a hobby. So they don't care if the car is worth 50K, 75K or 99¢. It's pride of workmanship. And as a bonus, when you're finished, you can drive it around town or cross country.
 
If people are looking for a profitable investment, buy real estate.
 
Happy Holidays,

I really wonder about cars like this.

 

It has been so taken apart that just finding all the correct nuts and bolts may become an issue. Very few people actually bag and tag everything. Even those that do still inevitable loose a few things.

 

Even if 90% of the chrome has been redone, and who knows if it was done well, that last 10% can cost a lot to find and then plate and then the plating may not match.

 

The body has primer and has sat for years meaning that rust can get under the primer. The entire car has to be blasted to bare metal just to see what is under it.

 

There is no way to restore this car for less than about $75K and that is if one does all the work except the final paint and upholstery themselves.

 

Given the fact that the average selling price of a 300B is about $50K and a concourse on is up for auction for $100K, why would anyone bother?

 

Cars like this are honey traps for people who do not know any better.

 

My 2 cents worth.

 

James
