Found the issue of Mopar Muscle it was featured in. 
So it was restored 22 years ago mostly by one guy in his garage- Kudos to him !
To the tune of $16K no less! - Sure it was 22 years ago, but even adjusting for inflation, it's only about $27K.

Makes you wonder how $300K was spent on the green one, as Alan had stated.

"A fool and his money are soon parted"

That Musclecar Restoration's place is in love with itself. But hey, next owner does not have to pay the $300K resto plus initial price.

At the end of the day, the car stands on it own. Doesn't matter who restored it, how much the resto cost, ownership storytales/drama/etc.

The Yellow AAR owner put a tons of hours into it (probably more than the green one), learned new skills, had previous skills, utilized a network of knowledgeable clubmembers, etc. Key takeaway: Resourcefulness.
