"Old" car values?

[The Metalsmith]

Hmmmm.
                    A friend of mine was in a similar position and had 12 or so rare cars that valued well into six digits. Over a period of time he completely disassembled them before the property inspection. They were valued significantly less and were seen as parts, not complete cars.

If I were to put a value on my own reek going by the above formula, it would easily be in six figures. There must be thousands of hours in it. The parts list alone is close to the ton. I know I'll never get it back but I'm not selling it ever either. I build it to a standard for a purpose. Not to someone else's expectations.
