I love seeing an old car that has been restored. I go to airshows all the time and I'll walk past an F-22 to go look at an F4U Corsair, or a P-51. At a military airshow a while back they had a B-25 Mitchell that was the attention getter for everyone there.
A 1985 Teddy Ruxpin doll is worth $40.00 to $100.00, and it's an investment because 20 years from now it'll be worth more than you paid for it.
It's kinda sad that our hobby never developed a collector/restoration attitude.
