I would have trouble justifying $20k for that even if it was a 70.

While it is a black car...it still is a '73 as well. You would be WAY upside down on that one even if you get the car for almost free


Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

This is exactly the the mindset that has driven the car hobby in the dirt.
Upside down investment wise.
If a person is building/restoring cars or anything else as an investment they aren't in it for enjoyment, satisfaction or fun.
Investment actions are business ....
Ask anyone who raced ANYTHING....Upside down investment wise...lol.
You are not Upside down on an investment doesn't matter till you sell it.
Keep a car 42 years and it becomes less important....
Ok....finished my drink 🍸 πŸ˜‹

Wondering if this car was in a YouTube video that had a brother 72 Cuda also black and another car as well.

Update. No. https://youtu.be/ZzejOaD23Rc?si=AK6Juso5VfCH2msl

One of the true fallacies of investing. Your balance sheet would display otherwise. That BS is really a tax reporting issue and realization of loss.
If you buy something for $100 and it is now worth $10, you have $90 loss. If you never sold your Enron stock, do you have a loss? You better believe you do.

I agree that the being upside down in a car resto deal is par for the course. If you like a car and want to do it because you enjoy it, great. The "make a profit" side is a non starter on most every project car out there.

Even though it is a 73, that would have been a cool car rolling off the assembly line!

I'll politely disagree.

Regardless of color, that car needs:

Roof skin
Trunk lid
Rear valance
Quarters
Front lower fender patches

And that's at the minimum for the body.

The price was $30k, obo, on February 5.

$20k and the project is ready to start?

Pass.

OK...let me simplify it for you. BUY ONE ALREADY DONE AND SAVE A TON OF MONEY AND HAVE THE SAME THING.

A buyer would be better off buying the grey survivor one,every day all day. You couldn't buy and restore this one for the difference in price!

If you keep it forever its never a realized loss, but your bank account may disagree. Your argument can be stretched to starting with nothing, then buying the whole car a piece at a time and assembling it. Now you have a rare car costing a million plus that you could have bought for $100k. Just don't sell it and you're ok. :-)
