My philosophy is the ones that are save-able as original should be kept that way as much as possible. This preserves the time stamp feel of the era. Modern improvements (wheels, smart converter, combiner) help modernize without being destructive. Basket cases and abandoned projects are best for total modernization treatment. To quote a very wealthy friend in a different end of the GM muscle car hobby "The Federal govt prints brand new money every day. You can always get more money, but GM will never make more of these"

John L, I thought that too, to my sorrow, when I sold my '68 hemi Roadrunner... there'll never be another. Till I saw the 700HP + Hellcat. Y'know, maybe.....
Out of my reach, but they're still out there if you look.

Some Idiot just paid $1,000,495.00 for a COPO big block 1969 Camaro at
Barrett-Jackson at Scottsdale. Complete rotisserie restoration. All numbers
matching car. Bright rally Red. Can't believe it.
A 1967 Z-28 302 cubic inch 4 speed COPO car with special highrise
intake and factory headers, all numbers matching car went for over One
million Dollars a couple of years ago, too. Wowza. Junked one of those for
the engine and 4 speed when we were racing, many years ago. Woulda',
Coulda', Shoulda! Hindsight is always 20/20.

To give this some GMC motorhome content, don't hold your breath waiting for
yours or mine going over that same auction block anytime soon.

Yeah, I've been kicking myself for years over selling my '68 Charger RT. It wasn't a hemi car, but it was a nice well optioned car and would be worth a small fortune today.
