car restoration
UrbanNightmare asked:


I have two 1978 cars that need restoration. Junk/sell it or restore? Camaro z-28 and Buick regal. Almost 30 years old, both are original owner cars. The Regal has been a lowrider and a hot rod (not at the same time) in its better days.

  7. These are not really hot items. Of what you have. Look everywhere there is alot of them. I don’t think they are worth anything.

  8. Don’t confuse the term classic with the word collectible. EVERYBODY seems to think once a car passes a certain number or years old it becomes a classic. For the record there is an internationally recognized society of car people that determine whether or not a car is a classic or not. Currently there are no…repeat NO post WW ll cars designated as classics by this organization. (The name escapes me but I know it exists.) Cars designated as classics by this group are cars like Duesenbergs, Packards, etc. You get the picture. Under California law the cars you mention may be eligible for what California calls a classic plate but your cars are most certainly not classics by any stretch of the imagination. The venerable ‘57 Chevy is not even considered a classic in the truest definition of the term. Sorry, that’s the way it is.
