I don't think I've made money on anything.

Of the cars I've sold I either lost money or just barely broke even not counting the actual man-hours involved. If you counted the hours, then I lost my shirt on all of them.
I also believe I'm cursed in that, to my knowledge, every car I've sold has been wrecked.

Honda - crazy b1tc# blew up a brand new motor somehow within 3 months. I'd driven it for over a year without issue so I've no idea what she did.
Lebaron - saw it bombing around for a few years after selling but have not seen in a decade.
Valiant - Idiot I sold it to cut it into pieces, decided it was too hard then sold it to some well known scrappers with many parts I loaned him still attached. Lesson learned.
Swinger - dude started project then abandoned. Parted out.
New Yorker - engine pulled, rest of the car sat around for 20 years, then disappeared. Probably demo'd.
'80 GM Pickup - dude started project, then got divorced.
Sebring - somehow kid who bought it blew up a brand new (literally, less than 1,000 miles on it) transmission. It still exists, but it hasn't moved in years.
'74 Hornet hatch - should've held onto it. I got $4500 and it went to Europe. Today, cars that clean routinely top 10k with how the market has gone.

My T-top Daytona? I've had advertised for 2+ years now. It's a great little car. Everything works. It's in great shape. Couldn't give it away yet everybody tells me "80's stuff is the new hotness".



With the way prices have gone lately, I could probably make money NOW if I sold my Javelin, Hornet and Gremlin. But then what? I could either buy ONE decent mopar or .... I dunno. I am starting to get a little burnt-out on cars.
