What is you opinion or answer to my question 3?<br /><br />3) Is an unrestored, original car that is in very rough condition worth more than a car that has been restored correctly?Mike Guletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03123152478767734465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656661490132111143.post-8181574937465003522011-09-02T09:54:55.366-07:002011-09-02T09:54:55.366-07:00Seeing this "beater" Ferrari at Pebble B...Seeing this "beater" Ferrari at Pebble Beach brought forth a lot of contradictory thoughts, I have to say!
