True enough, but that's why I also said leave it alone unless it was something mass-produced (and therefore not rare and going to have a rediculous resale value).

My arguement was really for the 3rd and 4th Gen F-cars, since that's what Oddball owns. If I had a rare option car, like a yellow '87 IROC, or an '02 Camaro SS, or a '93 Camaro Pace Car, I'd leave the car alone. Now, if it was a regular base-model coupe, or a Formula with a TBI motor, I'd throw caution to the wind and mod the hell out of it. The latter two examples will never be worth what the other rare models are, all conditions equal.
