To restore or leave it raw? Burke Payne, a former homicide detective turned appraiser, returns to the podcast to bring his "private eye" skills to the art of the auto appraisal once again. We break down the ROI of resto-mods vs. survivors, the rigid originality rules for European marques, and why "dare to be different" builds don't always hit the auction jackpot. From decoding fender tags to avoiding a financial "crime scene," this episode is your roadmap to car value.
