Kind of in a spot. Finished the resto-mod on my 68, but I have a few left over original parts.
Have had the car since 1983 and the drivetrain is original except for rebuild.
Do I keep the parts around and take the grief from the significant other or sell them for someone else's factory restoration? Seriously doubt that I will ever try to take the car back to factory specifications.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe. 1968 400 convertible (Scarlet) 1976 T/A - 455 LE (No Burt) 1976 T/A New baby, starting full restoration. 1968 350 - 4 speed 'vert - 400 clone (the Beast!) 1968 350 convertible - Wife's car now- 400 clone (Aleutian Blue) (Blue Angel) 2008 Durango - DD 2008 GXP - New one from NH is AWESOME! 2017 Durango Citadel - Modern is nice!

To me it entirely depends on how the car was born. What is (or was) it? If you were like most of us back in 83 numbers matching meant and was worth far less, then it does today.
