Restore it, modify it a bit like most people did back in the day, or &quot;upgrade&quot; it with modern components? <span style="font-style: italic">In most cases</span>, the decision should purely be based on what result the owner really wants his car to be.
But here's when I believe another factor should be considered. If the car has survived all these years without any of those modifications and has most of its original equipment, then I think the car itself should be given some consideration in that decision. When a car has gone that long without being molested, it has a place in history and it deserves to be treated with respect and either preserved as-is or restored. In that case, I think the car itself is the most important part of the decision. That's just my way of looking at it and I hope I haven't added to the confusion.

Wow!!! These are exactly the kind of responses I was looking for! Thank you all for your input and I am going with my gut and my original stance to restore the car back to its original badass self. This car has been a dream car of mine for a long time and now that I own it I do believe I owe it to the car, I do plan on doing some internal mods like you guys mentioned but other than that I want to return it to the way it was back in 1967.

Big thanks to Bill Pritchard for finding this car for me!!

Bruce I have the 20-27 of November off so that would be a good week for me. I will PM you.

I believe I just heard the car exhaust a sigh of relief......... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img]
