Line 7: Line 7:
 
A car that is totally stock, including paint, engine, chassis, interior, etc. is worth more then one that is rebuilt and/or repainted to look like new. That means if the finish or interior or mechanicals are reasonably good condition it's better to leave it as a "survivor" in many cases than it is to do a less-than-perfect restoration. The value will be exceptional if it's a desirable vehicle and the money saved by NOT doing a restoration will only increase the profit margin of a survivor vehicle.
