I haven't restored one myself but I know some who have. I think a lot of them simply like the car. Some of the older cars have more style than the new plastic cars. Some restore a childhood favorite car. I think some just like the fact that they took a old car that needed work and fixed it up themselves which gives them satisfaction. My uncle restored a 1969 Porsche 912 which I really enjoyed because he let me drive it when it was all done and it was quite a bit of fun.
