I have restored a whole bunch of orignal cars to the T.
Usually what I choose to restore are cars that are rare, odd, or simply sought after becuase of there options. The only reason I choose these cars is becuase it's fun to get down to the nitty gritty and try to make things as perfect as they can possibly be.
In my opinion though, restored original cars are quite boring once they are built. They give people the opportunity to buy a car that they would have like to have had when it was new.
Now, if the car really has no extreme oddidity, mod the piss out of it and have a blast!! I'm building a 31K mile Grand national right now that should run a solid low 10 second pass. Why do such a thing to such a low mile car......why not???!!!!!:biggrin: I get really bored looking at original cars at car shows. Actually I pretty much stopped going to them becuase I get so bored with seing them. I'd much rather look at something custom or something that is somebodies unfinished project. I like hearing their stories and their future goals.
With an original car, it's just the same old story....same old boring car!!!
