i can get two of the cars i allways wanted to own. but funds right now are there for only one. which one? 1936 ford truck. body is mint. frame is mint. all parts are there–but it is all in pieces. guy was going to do a frame off street rod build, then died. wife is selling it off. or a bmw 2002 turbo widebody-- rare find. car has had the wide body and paint redone. engine and tranny need reinstalled. but all parts are there. somehting like 1500 of these cars were made. 180 hp 240 tq for a 1970’s 4 banger… im thinking of buying them both, selling one off to recoupe all my money. as the money is there. ---

> [@SOLD](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sold/32012/7): > > the 36 Ford is more “sailor” That was more my thought. But the word “rare” doesn’t even begin to describe a turbo 2002. Let alone a damn widebody. I agree with the idea of buying both, see which one you like then sell the other. ---

bmw 2002 turbo is rare as fuck. as it sits, i could bring 4x what i paid for it not even putting the eng tranny back in. clean rust free redone 2002’s can bring 20k range. im in that category after i put engine/tranny back in the car. truck is hard to find too all original steel. could probably sell it no problem as it sits for 2x to 3x what i paid. gonna try to snag both. just be living paycheck to paycheck for a while until i unload the 240 and some other parts. have to go look the 2002 over in person to make sure no rust at all. as i would buy that one 1st-- more money to be made on it if i were to sell it. ---

As an accountant, those investments would be hard for me to pass up. Anytime you can double, triple, or quadruple your money, you should definitely do it assuming the risks are not too high. If you have a reasonable chance at flipping either or both of these cars for that kind of profit with minimal risk, you should be all over both of them. Even if you are living paycheck to paycheck for a while, the profit far outweighs the costs. See if someone else would be willing to join you on the investment if you can’t afford it yourself. ---
