...when they could have put the same money into buying something NEW with a warranty?

Because restoring an old classic is fun and there is nothing like driving and old classic car! They look great and it is all about enjoying the car. I do agree some people go overborad spending over 100K on their cars, but I have an old classic Buick and it is a blast to drive and talk to people wherever I go. I enjoy my car... im not obsessed with every little screw and bolt having to be chromed and shined up... LOL!

because some people get a thrill out of making a thing that would normally be beat up and old into something that's worth more but in a different way. not everyone is concerned with looks. i guess it's nearly the same reason one would live in a beat up old tiny house and park a mercedes out front. it's all about priorities I guess. some people like loud music and shiny rims, some like the car to run.
Different strokes for different folks.

I restore vehicles to past time also a older restored vehicle gets looked at with smiles. Plus i can say that i built it. New cars are cheaply made so they need a warranty . Ever see people at a car show looking at a new car.

These cars are built better than the cars today,stronger and last longer thats why we are able to still buy them today,
you should take some interest in them these are the true legends of the auto world mate.
they are also only going up in price this also has a lot to do with it.

Because new cars will never have the style of older iron. They are better built even with years of use on them than new cars. They are fun to work on and drive.

You'll find out when you get older.People are nostalgic.They like things from their past.Kinda like antique furniture.These 'classic' cars can become very valuable, especially if they are rare.Check out some classic car 'For Sale' mags.A vehicle that may have sold for $2000.00 in the 50's may sell for $20,000.00 now.Kinda like an investment.I have the Hess Truck Collection.I paid $19.99 for one truckin 1984, it sells for about $250.00 now.Do you 'get it' now?
