Ok, I'm going to play devil's advocate here, so don't jump all over me, just trying to make a point.
For those of you lucky enough to own one of the cars built by AC or Shelby and still have it, does the car have 100% of the parts on it that came on it from the factory? If not, then how can your car be so different? I was thinking this about all "original" cars. There are very few examples of an original car - one with paint, tires, interior, engine, suspension etc.... so MOST original cars ARE pieces and parts from the factory/other cars. So, if you have a car with an original frame, body and engine (regardless of where the MSD box is mounted  ) isn't that as close to original as you can get these days? What if any of us had the opportunity to take a box of parts shipped to us from AC and put them together? Just because AC or Shelby didn't put it together is it less original?
Just asking questions to maybe present a different point of view.  |
