Who would take on these Model A Restorations?

The cost of the restoration, even doing ALL of the work yourself, far exceeds the value of buying a ready to drive car. Or is logic something that I should not consider?


The '31 Victoria in my avatar photo, I'd probably struggle to get $20,000 for it if I had it for sale.

I agree, just because it’s old, many people have a highly inflated value in their heads of what “their treasure” is worth. Spending $10k on a drivable car is money well spent to start a restoration project. In fact I would say you would be saving money.
