what if everyone thought this and did this? none of us would ever get to see what these cars were really like when new. i have seen plenty of restored cars and i have restored plenty of them. its nice to look at a car like this sometimes and think about the people that put it together. i like to look for things out of the norm. its nice to listen to the story the car tells you. i could look at a car like this all day.
this car will only be original once. a car can be restored over and over again. if you are looking for a car to drive buy a restored car. if restored correctly they are better than new. drive the wheels off and restore it again. no harm in that.
i have a friend that installed a set of NOS aluminum heads on his 67 BB. he paid double the price for NOS over a set of used aluminum heads. the second he installed these heads they were no longer NOS. they are now just another set of used heads. the point is things are only new once. if you are looking for something to use then find something used. if someone with lots of money stepped up and bought this car to drive that would be a waste to me.
This was a great car, and yes, a dilemma for an owner. I've had my share of low mile cars of all types and they are wonderful to drive, almost hypnotic as they drive so very well. I like this car just the way it is and I probably would fire it up once in a while. Probably in the middle of the night for a run down the highway much like the original owner did.
