Why are people scared of sub 200k miles 80’s? This one is in better shape than any 115k rigs around!

BUMP

I think you will find it is more a case of people not having $20k to drop on a built cruiser so they buy a sub $10k one then start to learn about the cost of parts and labour.

I use to build custom cars and people would always ask why we didn't have built cars for sale ... the answer was simple I would make twice as much building for someone than I would selling a finished product to them. We use to hold donor vehicles to do build on but never built cars.

All you have to do is have a look at what places like Slee and Proffits etc invoice on parts and labour and you understand real quick the only guys making money in this game are the shops doing the work, they know damn well where the $$$$ is and it aint selling built vehicles.
 
Bumpy, bump! I'd do this if I was in the market! With all the mods and baseline, worth it!!!
 
Very nice! Just saw this and interested. I'm not in the US right now but will be back in mid-May. If you still have it I'll be in contact.
