Perfect examples are these two cars My 71 Cuda was a 383 4v "real" Cuda but no numbers matched It had it all billboards , gills , road lamps , big block etc REALLY FUN TO DRIVE and since it wasn't numbers matching OR a show car I drove the hell out of it. I even drove it to the Mopar Nationals 204 miles each way. I never saw another old car on the road till I was 2 miles from the event. When did we start putting these cars on a pedestal and quit enjoying them?
The second car IS My numbers matching 70 Challenger RT "Survivor" it had 95% original paint. I drove it quite a bit BUT since it was "real" and numbers matching I was a total freak about keeping it preserved. Overall not as much fun to drive ,TOO MUCH STRESS.
Cars are fun and meant to be driven. I don't condone driving them year round (ever drive an E body in the snow?) but a little rain won't hurt them. Windshield wipers were standard equipment LOL
I have an idea of finding an ugly clapped out 68 fastback putting a big block and a 5 speed in it with modernized suspension and big brakes. I'm going to pound the crap out of it and have some fun. Slam the doors , drive it in the rain, park it an a grocery store parking lot etc Time to relive my youth when they were just cars
