do you know the history of your car?
i agree with you on the history adding value. sometimes it can lead to some cool findings. i had a button on the bottom of the drivers side that went to nothing. i often wondered what it was for. i found out the other day it was for a genral lee horn! it was taken off somewhere down the line before i got it but a cool fact none the less.
briankaplan have you been able to talk to the original owner at all?
