I know what you mean. I bought a faded (it looked pink) '66 Pontiac LeMans from a wrecking yard back in the mid 70's that cost me $300.00. It didn't look too good, but I needed a car fast and didn't have much cash on hand. After a few days though, of cleaning the interior and of compounding and polishing the body, I ended up with a very sweet looking, shiny maroon LeMans with white bucket seats. I wish I still had it now.
