Yes, Sean...it all comes down to how relative it is to your lifestyle.
Are you historically inclined?
Are you imbued with skills and ability to do resto?
Do you have the facilities to do the above?
Do you have family support?
Do you have community support?
Got the bucks to carry on?
I'm blessed with some of the above, but seriously lacking in some others. (Family support is +++, personal skills and abilities are - - -).
So, it's all relative to one's current station in life. I have chosen to purchase a fully restored CMP because I cannot restore such a vehicle by myself. I simply do not have the skills.
Mind you, I certainly can appreciate the background efforts by those who have done the restoration of my vehicle and can thus vicariously relive a bit of my youth.
Sic transit gloria.
