Leave it or Hot Rod it?

I am a big fan of “Your car your way” beyond a shadow of a doubt. Be it a 100% correct resto or a complete throw back to the late 70’s Pro Street days. Cars are made to be driven and enjoyed!



That is the question.:D
The Wife has this near completely stock 72 Dart Swinger hard top and she thinks she might want it modified with more power, overdrive, AC, tinted windows, another paint color and custom wheels.
It has HEI ignition, a 340 grind cam in a semi recently done .030 over 318 that runs perfect as is.
It is licensed, insured and has brand new tires, so it is completely drive able as it sits, and she does take it to the store or something like that once in awhile.
It runs and drives really well.

I tell her she may want to reconsider changing it from stock much, but she says she would like to keep it and daily drive it if it had the above mentioned mods, but if not then she doesn't have much interest in driving it.
(the oil gauge on the inner fender was from when I replaced the cam and broke it in after we got it.)
So modernize and hot rod it or leave it and eventually let it go?
