I think these people were having fun pulling the tourists leg and seeing how much they could get him to believe.

Neither one of those 50-51 Pontiacs would sell for 35 grand even if you spent the 75 grand it would take to restore one. The most direct reason that guy is keeping those cars is because it pleases him for personal reasons to look at them. He has no real interest in restoring them himself because he would find them LESS intersting to look at if they were restored.

What many people fail to understand,especially those who live in a city and have wives that are "reachers" is that many people see these old "survivor cars" as an American art form. They collect them for the same reasons others collect Picasso prints.

Beauty,art,and style are all in the eye of the beholder.
