I just don't get it. Sure I can appreciate a great factory restoration, but Barrett Jackson and the numbers matching crowd has so many folks drinking the Kool-aid of "It has to be original to be of any value". Anybody could walk into a dealership and buy a 340 A-body, where was the craft in that? I'm glad all of my Darts started life as 318 2bbl cars because nobody cares what I choose to do with them. How fast they go and how cool they look is totally a result of my hot rodding imagination... Having a 6 pack 340 A-body should be a badge of honor, especially if you can get the set up to run well, partly because nobody made that combination for you.
