Now that I'm getting close to swapping tranny's, intercoolers, various parts, etc in my 87 GN, it makes me second guess myself about selling the parts to recoup some money from the car. I mean you always hear of the numbers matching muscle cars from the late 60's and early 70's and keeping them original or at least having the original parts still stored. I mean basically everything big on my car is stock and I've kept a few of the things that I have swapped out. Whats the future on these cars in 10-15 years?
But then I realize that my car has 173k miles on it (and counting ), nothing rare about the few options on it, made the most they ever made in 1987, and is a driver not a show car. So then I feel like I'm not hurting the value of the car in anyway by modding it out and I just keep on going about my business. :smile:
How do you guys feel? It's kinda like these cars are in the "in between" stage of becoming a real classic, so theres still a lot of original examples out there and parts aren't hard too come by. Seems like more people nowadays would hold onto them than in the 60's/70's muscle car era. I almost want to buy an all original low mile example to store away, but whats the fun in that?
You GNX guys are a different story :tongue:
