Re: 69 Z-28 Survivor
Among others my father's main collection has always been Flat head Fords, 1940 Coupes, Sedans, 1940 Woodie, 1941 3/4 ton Stakebed, 1941 P-up unrestored, 1941 121" WB Firetruck 3500 mile unrestored.
One thing which stuck with me was that through out my early days of attending car shows (Late 70's) were the conversations between my Father and another flat head collector in particular named Benny Bootle, it was inevitable they would degrade to the two of them lamenting the fact that they "restored so many cars which should have never been touched". Repeatedly hearing those stories coupled with my family's obsessive collecting of original Early American Antique furniture, Kitchen wares, and any other antique instilled an appreciation/respect for pieces retaining their original finishes.
