Seems these cars can transcend burnin' rubber love and become stacks of gold in essence. Regardless, it is one great car , the white inside red is the best!
I've read this with the same thoughts you've had. The car was great just the way it was. This is the only collector hobby where re-doing something is considered the norm, antiques, paintings, other art - it's considered a crime if you restore or refinish them.
