At the end of the day people are still paying $25K for trucks that cost $40K to restore. The occasional $40K truck you see sell cost $75K to restore. Some of you guys act like someone threw an Earl Scheib paint job on a $7500 CST and sold it for $25K. Ain't happening.
No one's getting rich restoring 67-72 pickups. Just the guys hoarding NOS parts.

There are exceptions to every statement but, my opinion, you are right on target.
And another point - some people (me included) are too old to wait 10 years for the dream deal to materialize. If you like it and can afford it, you better buy it.
