The question inevitably comes up – what will be the effect of the mechanical and aesthetic changes I’m doing to the car? One of my sons, Eric, who sells and races Volkswagen professionally, advised me that restomods are generally worth more than equally well-done restorations. The Gemma Jackson background is just that – a background of historic interest that will always enhance the car’s background. Gemma’s extraordinary care of “her” car delivered to me a vehicle in extraordinary condition which has made the work we’re doing so relatively pleasant. When I sell the car – – after I make some money “putting it into service” for my company, Concours Auto Restorations, Inc. – – I’ll make some good money on this car because of the tastefulness and quality of the updates!
