The bottom line from my perspective is that it is costing WAY more to own collector vehicles in 2024 due to inflation and supply issues since Covid times.
For example, I have ordered a tire from Snyder's. Good-Year 4.5x21" and before shipping, it is $330. I have to get 4 more of them, this is gonna be painful!
