The thing to remember is, you cannot make money restoring these cars for =
sale.
If you can get it cheap enough, then you can flip it =E2=80=9Cas is=E2=80=9D=
and make a profit. But if you don=E2=80=99t want it yourself, then =
there is really no point in investing money in it, beyond cleaning it up =
for appearances and making sure it runs and drives (since the premium =
for a driver compared to a non-runner is significant).
Let the final owner go underwater on his restoration =E2=80=94 you don't =
have to be that guy.
