I believe it is up to the owner , as to what he wants to do with his car. i remember a thread awhile ago, that 69firebirdman was parting out a high optioned 69 bird. he got criticized for it. He was stating it was very rough and should be parted. I don't know Terry,just read some of the things he has to say,but why was he getting ripped. He wanted to part it out to make money. Some put their birds together to race, some original,some as daily drivers,others pro street others parts them out. It is the diversity of views for this beautiful car that makes it what it is, and is the reason this site is even alive. we would not even be typing to each other if not for the diversity of views for this type of car. I believe there is an appreciation for all LEVELS of 1st gen birds. That is why i am on this site. Not to impress anybody with knowledge, the Lord knows i am limited after all these years of not working on these cars,but because we appreciate the common interest about this type of car. I know that the car I have had for 28 years is priceless to me. you could not give me enough for it. The sentimental value far exceeds anything a high end car could bring at a high end auction. Many of you have that same type of car. PRICELESS
