S code 69

I'm not trying to start a fight here, I know the majority of the members here are more into modification than originality. I think for some people, newcomers mainly this is a subject worth discussion, maybe it has been and I missed it.
 
I'm an originality snob and I admit it, I'm not knocking those who aren't all I want to do is say , think about it before you modify a classic car . cars I passed on 10 years ago are collectable today, if you have a car you don't think is desirable don't be so sure, if you do have a desirable car in my opinion it's a waste to kidderize it.
 
I would just like to stir a little thought in those who are deciding what to do with their car, if you're big into mods then fine it's your car. just remember originality pays, the more original the more your car is the more it's worth and in time the harder it will be to return it to original, provided you didn't screw it up so bad it's trashed. I'm not a purist myself actually, I'm putting 69 Shelby wheels on my 69 Mach 1, I was going to put Magnums even though they're not proper, this type of thing is easy to correct.
 
What makes a classic is the bad steering, the sucking sound of the 4 bbl, the poor handling and the look of the way the car left the dealer to me. for less money than I could screw my up my car for I could have a new Mustang that would be better than any old one. it's the nostalgia, that's what it's all about and I don't want to lose it by changing what Ford made in 1969. that's my 2 cents, I know I'm right about the value but maybe I'm in the minority on the nostalgia.
