It may be a Florida car, but....it'll need a lot of help!

It took me nearly two years to find one, as I needed to have some money left over to do the restoration and repairs. Most are priced at levels that I wouldn't be able to do anything with the car once I owned it. If the car is in concours condition, of course it should demand a higher asking price, as where would you find another? However, most cars I have seen are like this ad or worse.
As we all are well aware, we have spend more on the car than the initial price of the car with our restoration projects or repairs. It is important that the seller keeps that in mind when selling...and naturally the buyer has to realize that you are not necessarily going to regain all of the money invested in the restoration or project. That is why I tell people to buy what they love or like and not to be focused on the investment returns. Investment cars tend to be those you are not able to drive or even afford. I have nothing against investment cars, as I love to view them and ride in them, and would drive one if an opportunity afforded itself...LOL. I actually have a bucket list for a couple of cars, but it is most likely that I will wait until I am fully retired before jumping on the bandwagon! It's more fun to drive an investment car than it is a 401k...chuckli ng...
Happy Motoring!

I could not agree more!!! Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to own pretty much every car I've ever aspired to with one exception: I have always wanted a four-door Lincoln Continental convertible (1961 - 1967). I had an opportunity to purchase a relatively nice one about forty years ago but couldn't comfortably afford it at the time. I have yet to ever own a vehicle that I didn't drive whenever I saw fit; otherwise, they aren't worth having.
