Well of course, but as i previously stated, i think this car's future value is only as a movie prop.

Just a quick add up

22,000 purchase price plus 10 percent commission.
$25,000 for suspension, brakes, and rear end
$25,000 for an FE engine and TKO transmission
$35,000 or so for a new body
$10,000-$15,000 for paint and bodywork
$3500 for headers and side exhaust
$5,000-$8,000 for electrical, gauges, and new interior
$5000 for miscellaneous....steering column, steering shaft, horn button, shifter, etc.
$3,000 for fuel tank, brackets, fuel lines, fuel pump, and fuel filter
Then there is transport, overhead, insurance, consignment fees, seller's commission, etc. etc. etc.

I could give them the number of the current owner of the car I built and save them a lot of headaches. Maybe they can just put the crushed car in secret storage and run my old car through auction next year claiming it as the rebuilt crushed car.
