ItalFord ...

Your bottom line is RIGHT ON !!!.

BTW I have NOT seen a restored original "1)" car yet. EVERY car, I have seen, WITHOUT EXCEPTION has had engine mods, brake mods, repaint, cooling mods, suspension mods, electrical mods. Owners need to do this to make the car livable and, in my opinion, if they have in mind - sellable. A "1)" car is more of a museum piece - Not the type of car you would want to drive around in regularly.

When I purchased mine in 1990 it was a used ORIGINAL car. The ONLY thing it had not original were the Pirrelli P7s. But, in order to live with it I made it an "originalish" 2). Now, while keeping the original body, I am moving to a 3). BUT, I do not intend to sell it either. I think selling is part of this thread.

Making it a working true original car would be costly and the purchasing audience would be small. I doubt Quickitty would get his money back if he pursued the original route.
