Restore or not to Restore

Heres a question I have been pondering. If you own a all original Classic Olds do you leave it alone or spend the time and money to look new again? Me personaly. I think some cars age like a fine wine. You just leave them alone. What do you think?

Depends on the "collectability" of the car and personal taste. I have a '71 Cutlass convertible that I am restifying. I have a buddy with a '70 4-4-2 W-30 car that I would kill if he modified it. But ya know? It's his car. (But he wouldn't mod it anyway)

I guess I can see it if it's been setting in a field for 50 years but if it runs and original. No way. After all a little rust and a few paint dings are easy for me to live with, when I know it's all there and not messed with. I put some pics of my ride on a website check it out. Tell me if I shou;d or shouldn't www,geocities.com/sed1945
