The future of restoring old Chargers

I don't think we are going to run out of restorable old Chargers any time soon. There are ten thousand cars hoarded away as well as a pile of parts. As boomers get older, they are going to be letting go of this stuff into the market. There will still be generation Y'rs and younger folks that will be interested in the hobby, just not the same % as the older generations. Generally, I think in the next decade plus, the supply vs. demand will mean that prices will drop a little and then stabilize roughly matching inflationary increases.

Or, everything's going to go to shit and we'll be armoring them up and battling over precious fuel resources in the desert while dressed in butt-less leather chaps.

One of these two scenarios for sure.

This has always cracked me up. If they had butt covering, they would be pants. All chaps are @$$ less.    :smilielol:

While I don't have much interest in "restoring" Chargers, I would pay to have it done, or buy a car already done.

In my teens and 20s, I had more of that desire, but time marches on... :Two cents:

I'm in the same boat, only my options in Ontario were limited.  At least with getting it done myself, it'll be exactly how I WANT it to be.  :2thumbs:
