[DeTomaso] [NPC] Big dollars at BJ auction

[GW]

Over the years as more people restored old warbirds the value 
skyrocketed. In doing so it also gave money to the markets that created 
parts. There are now more old rare WWII aircraft flying then have for 
some tme. People continually turn serial numbers into flying examples.

Some of that happens here. When the value increases on a car, a lot more 
people want to restore them. In doing so more people are prepared to pay 
money for parts. I believe it helps. You may no longer be able to 
purchase that Hemi Cuda convertible but you can buy something similar. 
You can even buy new bodies for Camero's and 57 Chevy's. I think the 
flip side is what if you desired a mint 1970 AMC hornet. Try to find one 
or even parts today.
