[QUOTE="DAverkamp, post: 409958, member: 6100"] You sir are spot on. This is why “we” love preserving history and enjoy every mile of it. Some obviously are collecting concourse “perfect” $$, and that’s great but I’m only interested in keeping my gal’s value increasing in whatever the market demands as I drive her as daily as possible to “live in the good old days” and will most likely never sell her (but everything is for sale at the right price I suppose) Back to factory builds.. one of my brothers has a 69 383 RoadRunner (restored as a high value daily driver like mine) and we were comparing burn out rubber build up on our rear quarters when I noticed his chrome bumper was pointed “downhill” from the panel body line indents.. I asked if he was pulling boats from landings for a side job! His bumper and mounts are all original but it is 1” lower from where one would think it should be. He still gets to kick my nutz though as his mopar is still $15-20k more valued than my baby.. 🤷🏻♂️ [/QUOTE]
