do ya'll know what an appraiser does? You take the vehicle to them, they do a market analysis of it and set a price of what it would cost to replace. I have a VERY custom Ducati Monster750. I did not have to pay for everything done to it in cash, worked out trades for other parts or I did repairs on peoples stuff etc....it would cost me probably 25grand to replace that bike (appraised value). So, just because I did not spend that money in cash does it mean its not worth it? How much is your labor worth? I know mine is 65 and hour, call my shop and ask. Rob has a killer car, not my style but very well done. He spared no expense when doing it, 25K is a good price for something of that caliber. who cares what it started out as, someone wanting to get into showing cars will buy it and keep winning.
