71 V24 Duster rebuild to redo

It's just my opinion but I think the car would look great just the way it came from the factory(black vinyl top and the rest orange and the v24 blacked out hood treatment and decal) and keep the 4 speed in it, the 4 speed will actually help it value. It's a rare car being a v24 car and I think doing it up any other way would hurt the value. Also the hood scoop needs to go, I can't stand it when put the hood scoop on it and the 340 decal, sorry for any one that has one like that it just my opinion.

I understand what you're saying since that was my intention when I first got the car to have a stock look, rallyes and all but then I realized that it really needed a rotisserie restoration and I'm not into the time commitment right now for that and I really wanted to drag race it so I changed directions and I'm gonna have some fun with it first and then in a few years strip it all down and do it right. I'm not doing anything to the car that isn't easily reversible.
Opinion duly noted. BTW I know the hood looks a little cluttered with the scoop and the decal but a race cars gotta have a scoop! Kev
