Very true, Scottsdale could never dream of being what Biloxi is. Maybe some of the "not as nice" ones are great for someone looking to do a full restoration?? It's like Disneyworld for car guys out there. I'm sure they appreciate all types of classic cars.

If you are going to drive a car, a 60 or 70 car is just fine (older restoration or a drivable car with minor cosmetic or mechanical issues). These can still be acquired at a decent price. It is when you get into the higher grades that you have to spend some money (unless the car is rare).
For most cars, you don't want to be the restorer - you'll lose money. You see ads all the time that read "spent $70,000 on restoration" when the car is listed for sale at $35,000.
The guys that restore cars on TV are usually restoring high end cars and they are in the restoration business.
