Should I keep my classic car as original as possible or modify it? I have a 1971 Dodge Demon (Slant Six) which is in original condition - no rust, runs decent, original yellow paint (which I hate) is fading a little and black and red interior which has a few rips in the seats. When I bought it I was thinking of modifying it by throwing a 360 in it and tricking her out as much as possible, but now I'm not sure because the fender tags and VIN (which are in good condition) won't match up with what I wanted to do with it. Would that decrease the value if I modify the car against what the tags say? I want to to keep it in my family for a long time and pass it on to my kid. I would really appreciate any suggestions anyone might have.
