Re: Does Original Paint add to the value of a car

Agree with this 100%. My biggest issue with "restored" cars is that different people have different opinions on the "right" way to do things. Paint can cover up all kinds of shoddy patch work that can come back to haunt you later. Engines, Transmissions, etc... that stuff is fun and easy. That is another reason that I like clones (as long as they are not misrepresented), and resto-mods. Give me an affordable, 307 Chevelle with an all original, rock solid body and I can add the "muscle car" part. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]
Unfortunatly, I've only been able to afford cars that have needed body amd paint work, as well as drivetrain / suspension work.
