First off, I am hesitant to use the word "restoration" to describe a truck that does not wear the same color paint and/or the same options, etc., etc. as it did when it rolled off the assembly line...I prefer to call a beautiful truck such as Mark's "refurbushed", but that is just my humble opinion. But anyway, If you feel that a truck in which someone has obviously spent a lot of time and money on to bring back to this "like new" condition, (and in some cases, better than new), holds an upper limit value of $34,000, what would your opinion be on the dollar value of some of the low milage unaltered Power-Wagons we have seen appear for sale lately? Keep in mind that no one has spent large amounts of money to rebuild these trucks, they have just been lucky to survive the past 50+ years under the care of owners who cared enough to keep them preserved, though not necessarily with the intent to turn a profit in the end.

I think I know where Todd Wilson would spend the money if he had the choice between two 1970 Dodge Charger Hemi RT's, both identical, but one fully restored and the other a 1000 mile original. I am just courious where other Power-Wagon enthusiasts stand on this subject.
