Ive found that the sugar free energy drink sector has gotten REALLY good in the last few years. What you have to watch for now is that everyone feels the need to cram a shitload of B6 into everything. Its really easy to consume 1000% of your daily requirement which over time puts you in “nerve damage” territory.
I recommend the Ghost drinks, sour green apple is my jam.
You’re both right.
Most of the time condition is the determining factor, but there are cars that even absolutely fucked, the value is in the vin number. You can cut away 90% of the chassis and body, replace it with steel and patch panels from lesser models, source an engine and an interior and “ship of thesius” yourself a “Genuine” 69 R/T Charger.
Also, you’re disregarding the sweat equity equation. Basic spares and repair parts are usually pretty cheap, wiring and mechanical on an old truck is pretty damn simple and bodywork is reasonably easy to learn and do quite affordably if they are smart about it and have the time to put in.
Restoration shops do manage to stay in business because sometimes people want the car they lusted after when they were 16,the kids have grown up and moved out and they have money… condition is less important then.
