[T3] Barrett-Jackson just sold a $78K notchback!

[Keith Park]

Yea, I hate to see the remaining original cars get modded up, there are
still good candidates for that.  Its why I kept the Crate original,
It needed work but it was ALL there, and never modded.

Right, I don't get it.

Take a nice $20k car in original condition, add less than $20k of
accessories, including an engine rebuild, that anyone can buy on the open
market (and I suspect those prices are high) and you have an $80k car?

It's easy to go in that direction, but nearly impossible to reverse the
damage.
