I’ve been working on restoring my old car for a few years now and my partner keeps giving me grief about how much money I’ve put into it. They don’t seem to understand how much of a collector’s item it is.

Since you’re talking about rarity and restoration, we can only assume you’re talking about the original 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona and not any of its later incarnations. The Daytona badge reappeared three times over the years, but only 550 original 1969 Dodge Daytonas were made—and only 70 featured the monster 426 HEMI V8 engine. If it’ll help your partner understand what you’re investing in, let them know a Daytona Charger with a 426 HEMI recently sold for a cool $1M.
Since you’ve been working on your Daytona for a few years, it’s probably getting close to being ready for the road. Even if you plan to just keep it for show, you must cover it with solid
app, you can find great deals on insurance for whatever you drive in less than a minute. Plus, you’ll never have to deal with any sales calls, long forms, or hassles.
