This is the office window of Ferrara’s Auto Body in Montclair. When I came back a day later and Matty Ferrara gave me his estimate ("we don’t do paint jobs, we do complete finish restorations"), I chuckled all the way back to my car. Silly me.
Estimate: $7,500.
Book value of 1989 BMW 735i with 5-speed manual transmission: maybe $1,000.
Sentimental and, more important, practical value of said vehicle: Priceless.
