Default Re: Stock Restoration?

A good representation for any Muscle Car to be restored correctly is the general theme you see at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals.
About 90% of the cars there have poly glas tires with correct components. I don't see no problem to modify the internals for more performance but the external of the car should represent how the car looked from the factory.
I have the most respect for these cars that are restored to original as it is a dying art for many people that choose to modify there car with day 2 components or todays upgrades as going original is to much of a challenge for some of these people.
Also when you re sell a car the cars restored to original sell the quickest and earn the highest dollar. Just my 2 cents.
The last show of the year I went to here in Canada, I counted on one hand out of 500 cars which completely restored cars were represented, just way to many modified cars that look all the same to me.
