Sure, you could restore something more expensive and vastly more powerful, but this guy really wanted to have himself a special ’80s time machine. And after driving it, I can tell you it worked.
A guy found an ’84 Honda CRX in a field in Texas, dragged it home, and spent $10,000 to restore it. As the former owner of an ’86 CRX, I don’t see any problem with this at all.
