Auctions only serve to inflate the apparent value of our collector cars. The real value depends upon what you can get someone to pay for your toy in a less hyped atmosphere.

Some folks like perfectly restored cars. They win concours events and hardly ever drive them. I thank them for keeping the authenticity alive, but would never join in their pursuit. I like to drive mine, while still keeping them mostly original. (Modifications that don't involve cutting or welding and are reversible are OK).

Just my $.02,
