1971 GMC Custom Truck

Here is an example of how much money you spent on a restoration not meaning anything come sale time. This guy has $65,000 into this restoration (receipts included!) and I have no doubt they did some great work on the truck. That being said, in my opinion, this truck is just too much. The wheels, the bed cover, the mirror in the hood, the digital dash. There’s not enough original there to get my engine revving, but to each their own. Am I wrong? Let me know in the comments.
