for what it's worth

I get the numbers matching and original specs thing, I really do; but didn't most of us get into this for the take what you had and customize it, making the cars cooler and faster than the factory did, at least I liked doing that.
The factory hot rods were for the rich kids, remember, they bought a new one when the ashtray was full! $3.5 million for a Hemi Cuda, great ! ; but really, some people have more money than brains, Mecum and Barrett-Jackson is proof of that. Nuff said.
