I've considered that route. My concern is that I simply don't know enough about the potential problems with restorations that I could hit. Obviously, I would have to do extensive research. I've come to the conclusion that people sell classics because they can't afford to fix them properly or because they need the money from a proper build back in their wallets. The first cars might seem like a good deal until your 1969 Camaro SS breaks down on the way to a very important meaning. If I have a classic, I want to know that it was done right, and that's very difficult to investigate. The second set of cars are being sold to make money, and those aren't cheap. I've seen first and second generation Camaros go for outrageous price tags. Clearly, I can't afford that.
