i have found out its always cheaper to buy a fully restored vehicle.because a quality restoration usually coast much more than the vehicle could ever sell for.thats why i call it a hobby, and not a investment. the only reason im restoring my 72 is i couldnt find a 72 short bed in hugger orange with its options.by doing a quality complete restoration, i'll be into my truck atleast 20% more money than it will be worth at time of completion. will there be a time that the equity will cath up to the value? maby in 5-7 yrs. but then i chose not to spend 40,000-50,000 on a brand new 2010 truck.but to build a brand new 1972 cheyenne truck. one that wont depriciate 1/2 price in 2 years. again,its a hobby that should hold its value over the many years to come. just my 2cents
