When is it not "Original" ?

[Bob Jenkins]

This topic brings up some of my questions on what to do with my car. Granted it is not a supercar but a 1969 Camaro SS 396/375 hp car. The car is fathom green with midnight green vinyl top and medium green standard interior. It has 72,000 original miles with most of the original paint with some minor repainting done around 1974 sprayed over the top of the original paint. The interior is original but some fading. The car is in decent shape but could use a repaint to be nicer. I kind of like it the way it is as it has not been touched in a long time. Sometimes I wish it were in worse shape so I could justify painting it. At what point do you decide to restore or leave it as is? This has been bothering me for a while.....thanks for you inputs and I really enjoy this site! Great info and very knowledgeable folks. Maybe I'll make it to the Supercar Reunion this year.
