Consider this maybe:
How can you put a price tag on LOVE??
"What is up with these people that think they got gold in these trucks?" Well, some of these (us) guys have put their heart and soul into meticulously bringing these babies back from the dead and/or near extinction. It's a labor of love.
The countless hours, the research, the bloody knuckles, the pissed-off wives and girlfriends (pissed-off both mine at the same time, many times over my trucks
). And by the way, it ain't cheap to build one the right way!
I'd have to say from devoting myself to improving, repairing, resurrecting, and rejuvinating my trucks .... It was and is worth every penny of it!! But don't try to minimize the VALUE that this whole process puts into one of these "labors of love" .... you can't put a price tag on it, in my opinion.
I love working on my truck, I love driving my truck ... and if and when I ever sell it, I'll ask a price for it that reflects the hard work, CASH, love, care and time that went into it. I'll be proud to ask that price too.
It is not the same as walking into a showroom and plunking down some 'green' for a turn-key, cookie-cutter econobox. Buying a 67-72 truck requires the realization that you will be "INVOLVED" in it's existance!! Some people pay good money for that kind of 'therapy' these days.
