Would you rather have a sports car, or modify your own car? With money being a factor. If I got a sports car I would be happy, but it would look like everyone else's and I would have no money left over to do anything to it. Or would you rather get a somewhat-sporty car and modify it to your liking, and still have some money left over as insurance would be a lot cheaper, plus no car payments because I would buy this car in cash. Though the sports car would be more reliable since it wouldn't be modified. Give me your input.

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.
