Stock/Original vs. Modified

RE: Stock/Original vs. Modified
I'm not opposed to anyone modifying their car. They can do anything that they want to it. It is up to the owner what he does. I love Corvettes, all of them,but I'd like some of them to remain true to the original idea that Duntov had. A true American sportscar. So, he built the Corvette. Do the C-3s match todays engineering? Of course not. Can you upgrade to a better system? Sure. I'd just like some folks to appreciate the true value of their car.

True value is relative. I have about 9gs in the "Starship", but it would take a lot more than that, to get 'er away from me! I literally have a lot of blood and sweat in my baby!
Don't get me wrong here, I admire the original/stock Vette, and what it takes to maintaina pristeen treasure. [sm=hail.gif]

RE: Stock/Original vs. Modified
Speaking of stock 'Vettes, did anyone see the car auction in Phoenix, Arizona on TV yesterday? They had a black '67 'Vette convertible, raced at"Sebring,"one of twentyproduced. It looked like a regular big block street'Vette with factory side pipes,but it had the L-88 427. ALL FACTORY ORIGINAL. The top bid was $1,550,000 but didn't sell as the owner was looking for atleast $1,700,000. LOL What a car and what a price. I felt good that an american car was actually worth more than most of the foreign jobs.
I suppose that I'm somewhat contrary to most as I have an all original 'Vette, the only thing not original factory equipment is the exhaust system and two of the brake calipers, ( I rebuilt the other 2 calipers, the master cylinder and the alternator so that the car had the original components)but my plans are to mechanically modify it quite extremely. I will save all the original stuff.
