If you wanted a project car, and you knew you had to justify the price to your wife, pretty much figure that's the story some guys going to have to pitch to his wife. So, it's not what the car is worth, but what amount do you think some guy's wife would tolerate for a hobby for hubby? What would your wife let you pay for it, if it was a stray looking for a new home?
