Kinda like comparing a 70 mustang fastback big block or a Torino with a 429 vs a mustang 2 from the 70s or a t-bird from the 60s vs one from the 80s.
K maybe that comparison isn't exactly the same but anyone with a lick of sense understands my point.
Putting money into a classic car/home is a labour of love and the property becomes intimately yours.
Catch my drift.
Absolutely. Pre-WWII is my optimal.
