Tim, Apples and oranges.'' $5000.-10000. won,t even come close to buying a new car.Today it's not that much money.So lock that Luger up and throw away the key.''
A $40,000 new car is rarely ruined by driving it around the block. BUT.. if you chanced blowing the engine every time you started it? It would be a different story.
Another thing...Thousands of new cars are rolling off assembly lines daily. They are insured. A new and better one can be bought .
Not so with say... an Imperial 06 Navy.

Not that much money? That attitude amongst most collectors who work for a living is pretty lame. I work long hard hours to provide for my Family and I gotta tell you, It takes me all year, sometimes longer to save 5 thousand AFTER TAX DOLLARS.

But, I see you nor anyone else can answer the question....

Weird....Jerry Burney
