Tim, Tim, Tim;
Put the flame suit on 'cuz I'm sure you're gonna need it...
I'm a third generation T owner, and over the years purty
much the majority of the T owners I've known have more into their cars
then they're worth. Can say the same about most of the B owners and Alfa
owners I know too.
For my part I bought my '52 back last July for $13.9k and have put
$8k into it since. I plan on putting another $6k into it by this
time next year, and another $4k the year after that. Figure she'll be ready
to show by then. So in three years of ownership I'll have $31.9k into a
car that'll be worth about $18K.
Call me stupid I guess.
Point is, most folks I know don't buy T types, (or any unusual or classic
car for that matter) as investments. That's what the stock market is for...
'Course the stock market is alot less fun then the TD.
