Reply to "Keep it stock or modify it?"

Just remember that an original car is like a virgin, it's only original once. Some owner some day will throw all the orig parts away, and make the way he likes it. So the question is just: Are you going to take its virginity or will it be the next guy?

On a more serious note, I'd say it depends on where it is today. I have Denmark's, perhaps Europe's, most original 1st gen Camaro, that will never change. I bought it for that exact reason, it had an engine room that no "racer" had touched, all the orig parts were there. To turn that car into a street machine would be a sin. My current Pantera has race engine, 17" etc. I like the original'ish look it has, but I don't think twice, if I want to improve it. Still, I hold on to the useless mirrors, and the only reason I can think of to do that is originality.

If in doubt: It's only original once...
