Everybody gets through life differently, and what the OWNER does is up to the OWNER. I personally would drive the BEAST, but it's not mine. The car will live it's life as the OWNER sees fit. Thanks for sharing all that you have shared.

That's it right there. Some would keep it tucked away, and some would drive it. Personally, I would drive the crap out of it. If it got chiped and dented, well that's just part of owning an aluminum body car. But I also have respect for those who DON'T drive it. You just have to see both sides of the fence.

Think about this... if the car HADN'T been tucked away since 1976, I doubt we'd all be salivating over what the car looks like today. It would probably be like most other S/Cs.... damaged, repaired, repainted, modified, etc....

If I owned 3050, it would get driven around the block every now and then to keep things in good working order and that's about it......
It is far to valuable in my opinion to put on the street for some knuckle head to run into...........a number of original owners do have replicas that they drive and enjoy and leave their originals to the safe keeping of the garage...........

Maybe a track day every now and then, after all, it would be safer on the track than on the street.........

I'm just glad it is in it's present state and not modified as a lot of originals have been over the years........had it not been kept "in the barn" all these years, we would not be able to see how they came from SAI back in the day.........
