Have you ever torn apart an all-original car to build what you wanted?

In 1986 when I was 16, I bought a stock original all #'s matching 68 Formulas S 340 Barracuda with broadcast sheet, fender tag and certicard. Everyone in high school was installing headers and modifying their cars as much as they could afford. I wanted to follow suite but something inside me told me to leave the car alone. "Don't phuck with it. Just leave it stock". That's all I kept telling myself.

39 years later I'm thanking 16 year old me for preserving the integrity of the car.
