My new 442

I just got a 1968 442 sports coupe (post) with 37k original miles on it. It's Nocturne blue with a white vinyl roof, M21 4spd with a hurst shifter, white interior. The car has been untouched. It has been in a garage since 1975. It is in great shape minus a couple dings and dents. It is all original from the paint to the belts and hoses. The question I have is should I keep this in the state that it's in to preserve it's originality or should I restore it. What would be a better resell value.

Thanks, Dan

An all original car in that shape will be worth MUCH more than a restored car. You can restore a car multiple times, but it's only original once.
