Default Re: Preservation vs Restoration

Not really a direct answer to the question asked but....


One of my favorite cars is a 65 fuel injected corvette an acquaintance owns. He bought it in 68 and has driven it once a week to work and occasionally on weekends ever since. The lacquer is checked, it's never been painted. The carpet and seats are worn. Motor/trans have never been apart. While the FI unit has been serviced, its never been restored just maintained. What an awesome car. It would be a crime to tear it all apart to make it look pretty and new.



Others, unless its a truely unique model, that have been used and abused. Restore em. modify em. It's the owners car to do with as they want.
