Purchasing a finishedantique vehicle is much less expensive than redoing one yourself. The paint onthis was $6500, the engine work was $6500, rechrome work, new wiring, new taillights all added up. This was a service truck for a garage and kept mostlyinside, so I started with no rust areas. If you are looking for a qualityantique vehicle this will be the one.
