No way I could ever part with a car I built from scratch. I'm attached to one that all I did was an engine swap on.

That's a beautiful car. It's a bit shit he had to pay 6 times the original price for it though

I plugged it into the RBNZ inflation calculator. $6,000 in Q1 1979 was worth $36,300 in Q1 2019.
So he paid pretty much the same value as he sold it for!
