I know to get the Bloomington Gold and following NCRS guidelines, for Corvette restorations, could make the difference in the 10's of thousands of dollars in the sale of the right Corvette. I am gathering parts for a Corvette now that could bring toward $150K if done right. Do you think I care if the headlights are real T3'S??? YES! Without doing it right I could make it a $45-50K car.
I have a 1969 Corvette that I drive that would top out in the neighborhood around $40-45K if restored the same way. On that one I would rather have fun with it. I couldn't "restore" it the same way without spending too much to make it worth my while.
What is it worth in the end IF you plan on selling it is the question one should ask themselves.
I also enjoy driving a patina'd old truck too. I am just as proud of it too.
