I guess I am in the minority. While I appreciate the work involved, it just doesn't float my boat.

Prices increase when people of a much higher strata of income all of the sudden decide they want something. There have been a few solid examples of that lately.

The days of finding a 15k driver/resto project are long past and the days of the 25k rule are numbered.

Agreed. On average, I last saw 15k projects in early 2013 when I was shopping for mine. As people still restoring their cars know, it takes real money to go through the car throughly, even when you are doing the work yourself. In my opinion, 50k for a clean car that needs nothing is perfectly reasonable.Originally Posted by Michael

Right now there is an E Type in the MOMA. Exceptional design from a particular era is being recognized as legitimate art. All any object needs is a few tastemakers to propel it upwards. How else can you explain frauds such as Rothko?
