[VAC] Re: Value increase



I've got my Traveler insured with State Farm at a declared value of $8,000.
 Costs about 120 per year as an add-on to my auto insurance. I looked at
what others were selling for in restored condition.  I would not sell it
that cheap but I figured I'd get my money (probably not my time) out of it
at the above number. I figure a good restored trailer (50's models) will
fetch about $10,000.  I sold my 62 GT for $8500 - that was after I
discounted it for some fix-its I could not get around to.  Everything
fixed, it would have retrieved a 1000 more.

As a side note I'm amazed at the prices of unrestored units - lots of junk
for lots of money.
