Just because something is old, doesn't mean it should be preserved in pristine condition for " Monetary or postarity reasons".
I bought a decent condition 1966 Landau Thunderbird with the shear intent of stripping it of all the crap, re doing it as a hot rod.
There was 37,000 + 1966 TOWN LANDAU thunderbirds made.
In a sea of medicracy and "nice" vintige cars that are all squeaky clean and "showroom" , I want one to standout.
Polish Chrome? ......... not in my future. Some people are so anal about Bling Bling under the hood, that they forget to Drive the cars and they simply are " Garage Furnature."
nope. Road dirt, grime and the sound of the wind snapping on my shirtsleeve... thats what is Nostalgic about Classic Cars.......
Seeing them on the road as a rarity among Honda Accords, Pimped out Rice wagons, and Chevy Cavaliers.... etc etc.
Presently, its weekly, or sparaticly fer a few days at a time.
Daily fer me once restoration is done this summer
but living in Northeast, it gets stored in November till April unless there is a nice day and I want to ride around on clean NON salted roads fer an hour or so.
