87 442

Doing a frame off resto on my 87 442, everything original. Keeping the 307, will look like the day it came off the line.

And, truthfully, it "might" hold value better that way. I say "might" because modern mods are gaining in popularity. An all original '65 442 numbers matching but red w/black [not original paint color] that I wished I could have bid on sold on BJ recently for only $28K. A heavily modified '66, 4 wheel disks, [way too] big wheels, I think coilovers, sold for $50 something K.

I just know I absolutely love the 13.4/103 it will do now with NO traction over the 15.9/87 it did stock. I expect mid 12s pretty easy when I get it to actually hook up and it should perform respectfully on the track too [for what it is]. And I will still [probably] get dusted by a Civic but at least now it will have to be HEAVILY modified . . .

Don't care about value, yes it is nice to make money. When I build a car its for me not resale. I know I have a lot into it already and it doesn't bother me.
