Vintage Car Restoration is a Labor of Love, not a Financial Windfall
As anyone who has paid to have it done will tell you, restoring a vintage car simply doesn’t make financial sense. It is far less expensive to pay for an already restored vintage car. We’re not saying it shouldn’t be done. Some of the most beautiful, rewarding things in the world don’t make much sense in the pocketbook. But realize that vintage car repair is a labor of love that’s an art. Like many labor of loves, it only makes sense to do it when you don’t place financial value on your labor. You do it because you love old cars; you love polishing off an old junker to become the piece of art it was in its prime. And best of all, when someone compliments you on the restoration, you have the pride of knowing you did it yourself.
