I don't know what a couch Petrol head is, but I do have a Masters Degree in Finance from Stellenbosch as well as a Bcom Hons and Bcompt, so I am to a certain extent qualified to comment on the financial and commercial aspects of car restoration.Muzzymad wrote:pzhdbh, did you just wake up, or have you been restoring cars in a closed garage with the motor running.
You sound like the typical couch petrol head that has not had a passion for Muscle cars since a young boy, but since Gone in 60 Seconds hit the circuit.
I actually have had 3 offers and 2 quite close to asking, if you read the Subject Line, it says, "1970 Mach 1 mid resto -might sell..." , that's right, MIGHT SELL, I decided to keep my life long dream and complete it.
So you carry on watching TV, and Bidorbuy, as your comments make no sense!!!

Did I miss your introduction?pzhdbh wrote:I have restored over a dozen cars and costed each restoration.
If you farm the work out to professionals, it can never pay to buy a project and have it restored - the numbers do not add up.
Rather buy the best completely restored or original vehicle that you can afford.
TV Classic car shows like "wheeler Dealers" are bullshit - they only show a "profit" because Edd China's labour is costed at zero instead of 100 - 200 pounds Sterling per hour - the going minimum rate for a top notch restorer in the UK.
Even if you do all the work yourself, restoration projects ALWAYS end up costing more than you estimate, and taking you longer.
UNLESS, of course you have a team of 20 technicians and an unlimited budget for new parts like the team on "Overhaulin"
My estimate of the market price of the Mustang project in question is 100 - 150 K ZAR tops.
Don't believe me? Try putting it up for sale on "bidorbuy" or E-bay (I can ship it to the USA for you for under 40K).
How many offers has he had at 275K?
Oh yes - that's right - ZERO!
Unfortunately this post crosses the line and as such the above member has been sent to the cooler for a 7 day period.
