I don't think collecters who have a vehicle built for them have the same personal attachment to thier vehicles as do us guys who drive, nurture, bleed and sweat on and maintain them til we have them "finished". I don't doubt thier attachment, I just don't think it's the same.
Some people ask me whats the difference?, 78 / 79 looks the same to them. To me though I see my 78 (sept) and I know that it's one of the last trucks Ford made to come with round headlights. Others see their 79s as the first series to have modern lights, but in the last of the older body styles.
To me my truck is priceless, to my brother it's 15-$2500 that he can get for it when I kick. To him his 67 Cougar is priceless, thats why he's had it for 35 years and is rebuilding it again.
This is just an opinion and I hope the guy who bought the bicentenial truck bought it for nostalgic purposes and if its just to flip, well, then I hope he wears it.
